The Houston Independent School District Board of Education adopted changes to the District’s Vision and Beliefs, and the addition of a Mission, Constraints, and Goal Progress Measures, in 2017 to serve as the district's roadmap to success.

 

The Mission, Vision, Beliefs, Goals, and Constraints reinforce HISD's commitment to equity, closing the achievement gap, meeting the needs of the whole child, personalizing learning for each individual child, creating safe, joyful learning spaces, retaining qualified and effective personnel, operating with transparency across all departments, and engaging meaningfully with the community in all major decision-making.
