Cinco Ranch High School is a 9-12 high school in Katy, Texas. The school was established in 1999. It had an active Quiz Bowl program for about three years during the early 2000s. There are photos of Cinco students competing in the 2002 yearbook, and it has only one NAQT official statistic, when it sent two teams to the Aggie Bowl (10/16/2004). That is the last mention of Quiz Bowl at the school until the program was reestablished in 2010.

In 2010 Cinco Ranch returned to action in TQBA, beginning with the 2010 Kickoff Tournament at Seven Lakes (10/2/2010). The sponsor at that time was journalism teacher, Ed Larsen. Larsen sponsored the team in the early teens and English teacher Asheley Miller also led the club until Spring 2015. During these years the club was competitive on the local level, often fielding one or two teams in five or six local tournaments, but was not a factor at the state or national level.
