Hildebrandt Intermediate School opened in November, 1973, on land which had been farmed by members of the Hildebrandt family for 100 years. After the immigration of Johannes and Dorothea Hildebrandt in 1873, from Frankershausen, Germany, members of the family joined other German pioneers in the development of the Klein community. Like other immigrants, the Hildebrandts sought religious, economic, and political freedom for their children. Through hard work and perseverance, they acquired 900 acres of land in north Harris County, Texas, establishing the first one-room Hildebrandt School in 1915.
Through interviews with 81 year-old Paul Hildebrandt, it was discovered that student transportation to school included riding horseback, riding in a horse and buggy, and walking through forested land. There were no athletic periods, but the boys played ball, marbles, black snake, red rover, and mumble peg at recess. Mr. Hildebrandt's 77 year-old sister, Edna, added that girls played jacks, hopscotch, ball, and "pretend" games. Discipline consisted of standing in the corner, being spanked with switches, and staying after school to help the teacher with chores.

Hildebrandt Intermediate School, having been dedicated in December 1973, is the oldest intermediate school in the Klein Independent School District, a suburban district northwest of Houston, Texas. We are the district's northernmost intermediate school located amid a mixture of new subdivisions, primitive farmhouses, and rural grazing land common in an area where the thriving metropolis of Houston meets the piney woods of east Texas.
Currently, 1500+ Mustangs attend this suburban/rural school. The student population is made up of students of diverse economic, social, and cultural backgrounds.
We are a school that celebrates a heritage of excellence. Students consistently surpass district and state averages on standardized achievement tests by wide margins. Athletic and academic teams bring home cases full of trophies. Our faculty and staff are made up of a unique combination of experienced staff members ready to share our pride and heritage with new educators brimming with enthusiasm and new ideas. This union enables our students to have the best of both worlds: a tradition-grounded environment that embraces the cutting edge of proven educational philosophies.
Our caring spirit and rich educational heritage illustrate the magnitude of the pride we feel in our school. This pride flows through everything we do and anyone who is touched by it is never the same again.
