A MESSAGE FROM GRENITA F. LATHAN, PH.D. INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS he Houston Independent School District’s School Choice Program opens up endless opportunities for our students. They can attend excellent neighborhood schools – but they also have the option to enroll in one of our career academies, health and sciences magnet Tschools, high school college preparatory academies, international schools, language-immersion schools, and many more. HISD has a robust portfolio of 112 magnet programs at 121 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. In this booklet, you will find useful and detailed information about the programs HISD offers. My hope is that this information assists you in finding the perfect school for your student. Grenita F. Lathan, Ph.D. Interim Superintendent of Schools Career and technology education STEM areer and Technology Education LAW ENFORCEMENT (CTE) programs provide courses in diverse career concentrations to prepare Cstudents for a vast range of professional and occupational workforce opportunities.

    S215G120194 0194 Introduction: The Houston Independent School District (HISD) is the largest public school system in Texas and the seventh-largest in the nation, covering 301 square miles within the Houston area. With 279 schools, HISD serves a highly ethnically-, culturally-, linguistically-, and economically-diverse population of 203,066 students. The district’s students, regardless of sub-population, are less likely to graduate from high school or graduate on time. (a) Significance – (i) The extent to which the proposed project is likely to build local capacity to provide, improve, or expand services that address the needs of the target population For the proposed project, Literacy Includes Technology (Project LIT), HISD has identified three high-need, high poverty schools that serve high-need students, where the education gap — as exemplified by low graduation and high dropout rates, low socio-economic status, and high poverty — had a demonstrated need to be closed, as shown in Table 1.

  • COVID-19 Houston Resource Pack
    COVID-19 Houston Resource Pack Created by the Community Design Resource Center at the University of Houston Updated March 24th 2020 A Brief Introduction We understand that many people in the greater Houston Area have recently had their lives upturned due to the news caused by the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Issues such as food stability, health, income and education which are already a challenge in our city have only grown worse in the last few days. We at the CDRC would like to do our part in helping those in need by compiling a list of resources for anyone who might be facing issues in the coming days and weeks, and we ask that whether or not you might need this help, that you share it anyone who you know might need it. We plan to continually update it with any additional resources we find and you can always find the most recently updated version at our website. cdrchouston.org Stay Home - Work Safe order issued for Houston, Harris County **Please read the following information carefully, the City of Houston is constantly changing and adapting the strategies and methods to slow the spread of the coronavirus, this will be updated once new informa- tion is available** A Stay Home - Work Safe Order has been issued for Houston and Harris County residents to help fight the spread of COVID-19.
