2007 Fire

The original Needville High School building was reported on fire at around 3:45 AM on April 24, 2007. 21 area fire departments responded but by 6:00 AM the building was still a fireball. As of 7:00 PM, the 1937 building was reduced to smoldering rubble with fire fighters and investigators still at the scene along with spectators. One computer lab, two mobile computer labs, three copiers, one Coke machine, and TAKS tests taken last week were lost to the fire.
The fire came in the wake of a $60 million bond issue, $49 million of which was earmarked for a new high school.

2018 Threatening to suspend students who protest

In the aftermath of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, the school received backlash after superintendent Curtis Rhodes threatened to suspend students who participated in walk out protests. The school's Facebook page was subsequently taken down.
