While La Porte has a population of over 35,000, everyone seems to know everyone. It has a great community. Most people that went to La Porte High School have stayed in this area, so they still show their Bulldog pride by supporting LPISD. Our community is also very involved our local churches and love supporting our local small businesses!
A suburban town in the outskirts of Houston. A diverse group of thirty thousand and some odd number of a people living in a united community. The name of the city originates from a French word which means the door. The name suits the territory as the city serves as the entrance to the San Jacinto Bay that leads into the San Jacinto River, and it passes the famous Buffalo Bayou. Residents of the city are vastly hard working people in pursuit of a strong and secure livelihood for their family members.
I was born and raised in La Porte and love the community! The school district is solid and their are no shortages in work especially in the chemical industry.
