Supporting Schools

The Closer You Get, the Better They Look!

Good things are happening in public schools all across the great state of Texas.

Texas public schools have a rich history spanning 150 years. Once a simple diet of reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic, the curriculum has been transformed into a dynamic mixture of courses to prepare today's students for the future.

Raised expectations, clear results

While others talk about improving public schools, Texas has been working hard making improvements. Over the years, Texas has continuously raised its expectations for students and schools, and the results are clear. Student learning has improved steadily for all student groups, in all subjects, at all grade levels for the past decade.

By raising the bar, Texas demonstrates its commitment to truly prepare our children for the challenges that lie ahead. 

Share the good news

The brochure in the "Downloads" box at right has news and ideas you can use. Consider developing a piece that highlights your local district’s good news. Let Texans know why they can take pride in the commitment of public schools to prepare all children for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

We have come a long way from one-room schoolhouses and slate boards to distance learning and laptops. Texas public schools breathe life into thousands of communities across our great state every day—one child at a time. Visit a local school and see the true heartbeat of Texas at work.
