HOUSTON ISD FAMILY,

My team and I are excited to share our vision for the future of HISD. 

This vision is bold and clear and has been shaped by our students, families, educators, and community partners. It is aimed at the single goal of improving outcomes for every student who attends our schools. 

We’ve learned so much in the last several months. Parents are yearning for a district that provides their child a world-class education and meets their unique learning needs. Our educators are eager to be supported in their work. Systems must be implemented to recruit, develop, and retain high quality staff across all levels. We know that many students get an exceptional education in HISD schools, but left unchanged, there are many communities in HISD where only D and F schools exist. Families expect and are entitled to be a part of decisions made for their students, their school, and their district. The community is demanding a school district that is transparent and one that operates with the utmost integrity. 

We must learn from the past and look to the future.

The case for change is clear, and we are ready to work with you to transform HISD into a district we can all be proud of.

We are excited to provide this roadmap for HISD’s future. It lays out a framework for providing students with a high quality educational experience, ensuring all families have access to the same educational experiences no matter what school they attend, and making HISD a destination for students from our youngest pre-K learners to those students graduating with the skills and knowledge to prepare them for college, career, and life. 

The work of transforming this district begins now. It will not be easy, and we cannot do it alone. We need you to stand with us, work with us, and hold us accountable every step of the way. 

LET’S GET TO WORK! 

Sincerely,

Millard House II
HISD Superintendent
