Geographic Regions and Feeder Patterns

Most HISD schools are assigned to one of five regions (North, East, South, West, and Central) with offices located in communities to give students and parents personalized service and immediate assistance. The five geographic regions encompass "feeder patterns" or teams of schools in which the majority of students in a given community move from elementary school, to middle school to the high school located in their neighborhoods.

Each regional office is managed by a regional superintendent who coordinates a team of executive principals to ensure the quality of instruction throughout the region's feeder patterns. Feeder pattern information is available on each of the Region Web sites. Regional mangers serve to strengthen the district's outreach to parents by handling parental concerns and working to improve parent, volunteer, and business-partner programs.

Alternative and external charter schools are located throughout the district to provide a menu of schools and programs that meet the needs of students who benefit from a nontraditional educational environment. The district's schools and programs strive to provide quality instruction by utilizing a myriad of strategic interventions and innovative enrichments tailored to meet the unique educational and developmental needs of these students. An Alternative and Charter Schools Office manages those types of schools.
