Tomball Independent School District Home

Dear Tomball ISD Staff, Families and Community Members,

 

The holiday season always reminds us of how much there is to celebrate with family and friends.  As we wrap up the first half of this school year I would like to share with all of you some of the outstanding accomplishments this year has already brought to our Tomball ISD family.

 

The construction of the new elementary school is fully underway with walls going up every day.  The area around the new school is also being prepared for the new junior high school and stadium.  It is so exciting to see the fruits of this bond which our community overwhelmingly supported in 2017.  I am happy to share with you that the following names have been selected for the new elementary school and the facility - Grand Oaks Elementary, which will be located on the newly-named Elmer and Dorothy Beckendorf Complex.  Opening along with the new elementary school next fall will be the newly approved and first of its kind in Texas, Academy for Energy and International Business.  The new academy in an innovative program in partnership with BJ Services through which participating high school students will take specialized courses in the fields of energy or business which are scheduled at the BJ Services facility on 2920.  This will allow the Tomball ISD students and teachers to have access to industry professionals as the class completes coursework leading to industry certifications.   The program will open with the ninth grade class of 2020-2021 and students from both Tomball High School and Tomball Memorial High School are welcomed to apply.  They will complete most of their coursework at their regular high school campus and will be transported to and from the BJ Services facility for particular specialty and core courses. 

                

Along with new facilities, the district is putting the final touches on a new five-year Strategic Plan which will see us through 2025.  The Strategic Plan which was structured by a large committee of community stakeholders such as parents, teachers, students, community members, and local business owners embodies the aspirations of this amazing district as we move towards our vision of Tomball ISD students leading in the creation of the future.

 

Tomball ISD has once again received the honor of being listed on the AP Honor Roll by the College Board for significant gains in student access and success. Tomball ISD is one of only 250 school districts in the U.S. and Canada being honored by the College Board with placement on the 10th Annual AP® District Honor Roll.  Reaching these goals shows that this district is successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who are ready for AP.   The pride only grew stronger as the district was then informed that it was also recognized among just 12 Texas school districts for outstanding programs in the Texas School Business magazine’s annual Bragging Rights issue.  The particular program the district was recognized for is the Multi-Tiered System of Support which addresses student mental health.  A final honor was bestowed upon the district with the recognition of Canyon Pointe Elementary School as a PLC Model School.  Collaborative practice is a hallmark of the Tomball ISD way of doing things and it is a true honor that our schools are now being honored for the quality, commitment, and hard work of our PLC’s.
