Hempstead ISD places in the top five districts at the annual Summit K12 Summie Award Ceremony, honoring excellence in multilingual education.
The Summies, awarded by Summit K12, recognize school districts for accelerating achievement in Emergent Bilingual (EB) students.
Districts and campuses across Texas are evaluated on their TELPAS growth, Summit K12 usage, and innovative implementation strategies that help students progress toward English proficiency.
Hempstead ISD placed 4th for Small District of the Year and Hempstead Middle School placed 5th for the Middle School of the Year.
The middle school category is not divided by enrollment and was up against middle schools of all sizes across the state of Texas. This is the third consecutive year that the district has been recognized.
The Summies celebrate the hard work and dedication of educators who go above and beyond to support Emergent Bilingual students in achieving English proficiency.
