Great educators in every classroom.
It's a key priority in our strategic plan. Our community told us again and again that Ennis teachers are
caring, committed, and connected to kids. We agree, and that's why we're investing in them.
The plan commits to mentoring and hands-on support for new teachers, starting on day one. Coaching
right in their classrooms, all year long, the way every good team has good coaches. Time for teachers to
plan and learn together. And support so every teacher is fully certified and on track.
We're also committed to making Ennis ISD a place great educators choose, grow, and stay.
Great teaching changes everything for a student, and every Ennis student deserves it.

Our youngest Lions are leading the way.
In the first half of last school year, our kindergarten through second grade students posted math gains
of 8 to 14 percentage points.
That growth happened in our own classrooms, thanks to teachers who work hard for our youngest Lions
every day.
This is what we mean when we say excellence already lives in Ennis. Now our job is to carry that
momentum into every grade.
Thank you to our K–2 teachers. We noticed.

Strong learning. Every grade. Every graduate.
It's a key priority in our 2026–2031 strategic plan, and the word we mean most is every.
Every classroom teaching from a strong, high-quality core curriculum, including excellence in reading
and math. Every student who's struggling gets noticed early, while there's still time to help. Every
learner gets support that fits them, including students with disabilities, gifted students, and students
who are becoming bilingual.
No matter which classroom your child walks into, excellence is the standard.
Hold us to it.

When we asked our community what makes Ennis ISD strong, the answer kept coming back to our
people.
Our educators were described again and again as caring, committed, and deeply connected to students.
Pride in this community came through in every survey, focus group, and interview. And families, alumni, and neighbors keep showing up for our kids.
You can see it every day: in a classroom here, a grade level there, a campus that figured something out
and made it work.
Excellence already lives in Ennis. This plan makes it the standard in every classroom, every grade, and
every campus, for every family.

Before we wrote a single word of our new strategic plan, we listened.
We received 352 survey responses in English and Spanish. We held five focus groups with families,
educators, students, community members, and district leaders, interviewed our trustees individually,
and visited six campuses, inside classrooms, on typical school days.
Parents. Teachers. Staff. Neighbors. Partners. Students.
What you told us shaped this plan. Over the next several weeks, we'll share the strategic plan's five
priorities: what we heard, what the data showed, and where we're going together.
Excellence is the Ennis standard. It starts here, with the voices of the people who live it every day.
