4 INTRODUCTION The Humble Independent School District (HISD) serves the communities of Humble, Kingwood, Atascocita, Summerwood, Eagle Springs, and Fall Creek. The District s boundaries encompass approximately 90 square miles in Harris County. Humble ISD is nationally recognized for the outstanding education it offers to students, and is listed among the 25 fastest growing school districts in Texas. The District provides a well-rounded program of public education for children from prekindergarten through grade twelve. In addition to basic instructional programs, the District offers special education, gifted and talented, bilingual/esl, remedial, college preparatory, career and technical programs, and an international baccalaureate program. The District is fully accredited by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). Humble ISD schools are organized by feeder patterns composed of specific elementary, middle, and high schools (Atascocita High School, Humble High School, Kingwood High School, Kingwood Park High School, and Summer Creek High School). In addition, HISD provides alternative options for its students through its Quest Early College High School. A high degree of professionalism exists among our employees, and an on-going recognition of student and staff excellence contributes to this environment. The instructional program is geared toward having the student meet or exceed grade level expectations. Emphasis is placed on college matriculation, and higher level thinking skills, including research methodologies and independent, complex and critical thinking skills, with a focus on rigor, equity and consistency. Humble ISD staff members are dedicated to providing each and every student the best education through an intensive and challenging curriculum and sound research-based instructional practices. Our state accountability rating is Recognized. We continue to identify and address the needs of students and staff to be Exemplary in all areas. The average daily attendance rate for students is 95.70%. The average daily attendance rate for staff is 95.%. Each chart indicates focus areas that need special attention to ensure student success. Humble ISD s comprehensive needs assessment shows continued growth is needed in student academic performance to reach and maintain Exemplary status district-wide. In order to address this need, we must employee, train, and retain highly qualified and motivated staff. To ensure limited disruption to instruction, it is vital that we provide a safe and secure environment and a welcoming culture and climate for all stakeholders. Kingwood High School, in partnership with families and community, strives to develop each child intellectually, artistically, emotionally, physically, and socially so that all students are life-long learners, complex thinkers, responsible global citizens and effective communicators. We envision a school where students and staff are enthusiastically engaged in learning within local and virtual environments. We see a school that encourages collaboration and cultivates a sense of belonging. We see learning standards that are rigorous, relevant and that inspire creativity and problem solving. Ultimately, we see a school that prepares students for many paths and that empowers them with skills to successfully live in a rapidly changing world. Page 4 of 24
