Texarkana Independent School District Mission Statement Texarkana Independent School District will provide an exceptional education for all learners in a quality environment which nurtures the intellectual, social, cultural and physical development of each student's overall well-being. July 1, 2016: Five-Year Vision Statement After a district-wide tour of the Texarkana Independent School District, the U.S. Secretary of Education announced: “TISD, a district of considerable cultural and socio-economic diversity, serves as a model for successful urban education.” Serving a student population of 8,000, the district is focused on purposeful, continuous school improvement, doing whatever it takes to ensure student success. With an attitude that all students can succeed--no exceptions--TISD challenges and prepares all students through a myriad of curricular and extracurricular opportunities that are focused on the individual talents and interests of each child. By engaging students in real-world experiences to promote real-world success, the district optimizes learning experiences for every child. All students in Texarkana ISD are engaged in personal goal setting and monitoring as they develop a vision for their future. This individualized experience is accomplished through the safe, secure, and nurturing environment of the Tiger Family. While respecting the traditions of the past and of the community, the district also looks to the future and integrates a global perspective of education. To do this, TISD employs the highest compensated staff in the region, providing them with the training, technology, and resources to teach effectively in state-of-the-art facilities. Strong fiscal management focused on maintaining financial stability and an aggressive approach to maximizing sources of income are key to sustaining high quality programs. The result is a district with strong student and community confidence in the quality of our schools and with national recognition for our success. Belief Statements • We believe that our strength lies in the cultural and socio-economic diversity of our students. • We believe that all children can succeed—no exceptions—and we will strive to provide a personalized education that maximizes the potential for each student. • We believe that a guaranteed and viable curriculum is the most effective strategy to impact student achievement. • We believe that a competent, committed, and caring staff is essential to a quality education for all children. • We believe that community trust and support are critical to the success of our district. Texarkana ISD is proud to be a Kids at Hope District. We believe that all children of Texarkana ISD are capable of success, NO EXCEPTIONS. We are committed to surrounding our students by caring adults who have high academic and behavioral expectations for our students and who provide them with opportunities to be successful. vii
