State of the District 2017

Español

 

I delivered my annual State of the District presentation to the Cy-Fair Houston Chamber of Commerce on Sept. 19, and was proud to share all the ways we live out our theme of Opportunity For All.

Dr. Henry addresses a roomful of guests at the 2017-2018 State of the District presentation for the Cy-Fair Houston Chamber of Commerce on Sept. 19.

Among the highlights of the speech were:

• Opportunity for Achievement, with 153 Ivy League acceptances over the last two years;
• Opportunity for College Now, with a College Academy being piloted at Cypress Lakes HS that will allow graduates to earn an affordable associate’s degree;
• Opportunity for Extracurriculars, with student athletes who earned a 93-percent passing rate in 2016-2017;
• Opportunity for Equality, with a campus like the Carlton Center that provides a specialized vocational curriculum for special-needs students;
• Opportunity for Quality, with students on each corner of the district having the same access to top-of-the-line facilities, technology and instruction; and an
• Opportunity for Economic Growth, with our entire community benefiting from the economic stimulus we provide.

Cy-Fair Houston Chamber of Commerce luncheon guests browse the 2017-2018 State of the District booklet on Sept. 19.

Opportunities abound in Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, and if you look through the resources on our State of the District webpage, I think you’ll see why.

Check out our State of the District brochure, fact sheet and video that will give you a glimpse into the wonderful things happening in CFISD. Look for the rotating State of the District homepage block to access this information.

The opportunities will continue in 2017-2018!
