The slogan of the Hempstead Independent School District, Promoting Excellence in Education for All Students Through TEAMWORK,
exemplifies the attitude and the environment of the school. Enormous
change and improvement ranging from academics to facilities characterize
the key features of the Hempstead School District.
The
district is conservative in its approach to learning with a strong
emphasis on basic skills; however, innovative and progressive methods of
instruction and curriculum have produced powerful results in a short
period of time.
A
great amount of enthusiasm and excitement exists at this time with the
many positive changes which are occurring in the Hempstead Independent
School District.
Encompassing
190 square miles, Hempstead ISD has one early childhood school (PK-2),
one elementary school (3-5), one middle school (6-8) and one high school
(9-12). With the passage of bond issues in 1996/2001/2006, the district
has undertaken an aggressive building and renovation program.
