    PEARLAND ISD 2021 – 2022 COURSE SELECTION HANDBOOK Mission Statement In partnership with the community, Pearland ISD shall prepare students to perform at their highest potential and produce global citizens of tomorrow. Glenda Dawson High Pearland Academic Pearland High School Robert Turner College School Choice for Education and Career High Center School Erin Hamann Kimberly Darden John Palombo Dr. Kai Bouchard Published July 27, 2021 Dear Students and Parents: We strive to provide an education that “unveils” and develops the amazing gifts and potential of each and every one of the thousands of students privileged to live in this Pearland, Texas community. If we are successful, we move ever closer to our stated goal ‐ a “World Class School District.” Personally, I’ve been awe struck by the ability, hard work, dedication, and professionalism of our teachers and staff. Though I’ve worked in many places, I’ve never encountered a finer group of people. What do we ask in return? That students apply themselves ‐ and with each succeeding year, take increasing responsibility for their own educational advancement. While the accomplishments of our graduates range from academics to fine arts, athletics, career skills, leadership, and other fields of endeavor, they are only fully realized when combined with self‐discipline, self‐confidence and the grit necessary for a worthy adult life. We have the privilege of positively influencing both intellect and character – and we do that best when in harmony with our parents. So we ask that parents join us in this great endeavor – by echoing and reinforcing the lessons learned on our campuses every day.
