Seven Mesquite Schools Honored as “Higher Performing”
From Staff Reports
The National Center for Educational Achievement (NCEA) has recognized seven Mesquite ISD campuses in its 2009 Just for the Kids Campaign for Higher Performing Schools in Texas. The MISD schools honored, along with the subject area, are as follows: Galloway Elementary in mathematics, Gentry Elementary in mathematics and reading, Hanby Elementary in mathematics, Mackey Elementary in mathematics, reading and writing, Shands Elementary in reading, Terry Middle School in reading and writing and Tisinger Elementary in mathematics.
“The recognition of these schools demonstrates the constant focus on continuous improvement as well as the dedication and commitment of teachers and administrators,” said Dr. Linda Henrie, MISD Superintendent. “Though there are accomplishments throughout the district in student learning, we are pleased that these schools are being recognized for their progress in student achievement.”
As part of this recognition MISD representatives have been invited to share insights with NCEA researchers regarding the practices that make our school successful. The event, scheduled for Jan. 21 in Dallas, will include a recognition ceremony for schools included in NCEA's Just for the Kids Higher Performing Schools Campaign. The event will also feature keynote speakers, presentations and panels discussing the importance of college and career readiness for all Texas students. Panels of leading superintendents and principals of higher performing schools will participate. The event will provide a unique opportunity to learn more about NCEA's research and resources that assist schools and school systems as they develop student-learning goals that define the path to readiness for college and skilled careers.
