It was founded at Oak Ridge High School in 1987 with the first graduates in 1991. The AST relocated to The Woodlands College Park High School in stages from 2005 to 2007. The first Headmaster in 1991 was Dr. Ron Laugen, who came from the Lawrence Hall of Science, UC Berkeley. He was succeeded in 2007 by Dr. Susan Caffery, who served until 2023. The third Headmaster is Dr. Debra Creel.

Only electives and courses related to STEM are contained within the Academy and consist purely of AST students. All other courses unrelated to STEM are taken with students who are not in the magnet program.

Candidates are accepted by the Academy of Science and Technology following application, testing, and essay reviewing. For each class, 65 students are initially accepted, and ten are wait-listed. The size of each class at a given time is between 65 and 77 students. There are approximately 280[1] students in the Academy, selected from the College Park High School, Woodlands High School, and Oak Ridge High School attendance zones.
