I attended Houston for nine years in the 50's. I don't know how the school has changed since then but I would pit my education against anyone in my age group. Even then the school was outdated and yet the staff always put the needs of the students first. I hope that this tradition continues to live on.
my daughter attends. my sister, cousins and myself attended in the 70's and 80's. we have history and a legacy at henry h houston with a future to come.
above average we have great things in our school like art music gym computers. But the only thing our school is missing is Spanish and other languages.
I have been at Houston for 3 administrations, each were valuable for what they accomplished. Everyone should send their children to Houston for the dedicated teachers and staff. Under the new Principal there is new energy, enthusiasm of students, and great staff morale. Houston has now risen to new heights.
Neighborhood school has deteriorated since current principal took over in '99. Reputation had been on the upswing until then.
This school is a great school and strives to teach children.
I think the curriculum is great and the classes offered will make the kids well-rounded individuals. However, some of the staff need to be more personable and more understanding of the different needs that each child has.Some staff members also need to be more professional in their approach to the children and the parents and should not discuss a child's personal business to another child's parent!
My child is in the gifted program at Houston. I feel that this program has enchanced my childs vocabulary as well as expose him to different cultures. I would also like to commend my sons teacher for the fabulous job she did with my son along with her other students this 03-04 school year. Mrs. Warren is the best!
