Any grade level, or subject with more than an 8% achievement gap will be targeted for improvement.

Supporting Goal 2: Create and Support a Positive District Culture

Through clear articulation of the district’s mission, HISD will create a powerful sense of community and shared direction among personnel, parents, students, and the public.  Parent and community input is valued and utilized to improve a sense of cooperation. Realizing the value of our human assets, HISD will work to attract and retain the best teachers and staff members while creating an environment in which they may flourish.
