    Energy Institute High School is a magnet high school in East Downtown in Houston, Texas. It is a part of the Houston Independent School District and is the first high school in the United States that focuses on the energy industry. In order to earn the STEM and Multidisciplinary endorsements, all students are required to complete four years of engineering coursework as part of their elective credits. Students are offered 16 Pre-AP/Honors courses and 19 AP courses. Every subject taught in the school includes topics related to energy. The school is a project-based learning school meaning that it does not rely on standard school testing but instead, it relies more heavily on the use of group work projects.
