HEMPSTEAD ISD

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.
