City Walk Milby HS 100th Anniversary, 7.0 miles

Once again we are starting at Glenbrook Park for a look at Houston's Milby High School, celebrating its 100th Anniversary. Milby opened in March 1926, replacing Harrisburg High School, with just 13 teachers and 212 students.
Named after Charles Henry Milby (1852–1925) who was a prominent 19th-century Texas entrepreneur, Harris County commissioner, and philanthropist who played a key role in developing the Houston Ship Channel.
The original building had a Romanesque architectural style, many parts of which are still preserved today. Milby is not just a school—it’s a living piece of Houston history that keeps evolving.
A hundred years strong—today we hike through history. The weather is warming up, loose light-colored clothing is recommended for this hike with lots of grass and sun.

Wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water. The heat in Texas is always a concern so let someone know if you are having a hard time. For more information about hiking check out this very useful hiking website: https://www.hatsandmore.org/

Our organizers are not guides nor do we have any special training. We are here to come up with hiking ideas and get the hike started. Take the same precautions you would if hiking alone, including the fitness needed to make long hikes. Then enjoy the hike among friends.
