About Our School

  • Mark White Elementary

    Mark White Elementary is a school constructed as part of the 2012 HISD bond project.  It is located on a beautifully wooded piece of land, just north of Westheimer on Old Farm Road.  During the planning process of the school, special consideration was given to the preservation of the wooded site.  The school is named after Governor Mark White of Texas and was opened in August 2016.
