HISD Destination Transformation 2025 Logo
Why This Moment Matters:
The Mission of Destination Transformation
One year into state intervention, the Houston Independent School District has seen promising progress in our journey of systemic transformation. To sustain and build on these improvements, we are convening the Destination Transformation Summit to share our successes and the strategic changes driving them—not only for our schools but as a model for systemic change across HISD and beyond. This event provides a unique opportunity to engage district leaders and educators in showcasing effective approaches, reinforcing the urgency of change, and collaborating on actionable strategies for long-term academic excellence.

SUMMIT FOCUS AREAS

  • Why is Transformation Essential: Highlight why systemic transformation is crucial for HISD’s vision of 2035.
  • Systems-Level Change at Scale: Showcase strategies for district-wide academic improvement.
  • Actionable, Classroom-Driven Impact: Link big ideas to tangible outcomes in classrooms.
  • Build Coalitions for Change: Network and mobilize action for lasting educational reform.
