HISD has a robust portfolio of 121 magnet programs at 112 schools, with programs such as language immersion, single-gender preparatory, and STEM. This means about 40% of our schools have an associated magnet program! With nearly 56,000 of our students enrolled in magnet programs, that’s over a quarter of our entire student population. HISD exemplifies what it means to be a district of choice.

With equity at the center of everything we do, we strive to make our programs accessible to all students, regardless of the neighborhood they live in or their socioeconomic status. With over 15 themes, including aviation, careers, college preparatory, medical, Montessori, fine arts, and STEM, students are prepared for successful college and career experiences in a competitive and rapidly evolving world.
