Northwest ISD Families,

My first official week in Northwest ISD has been wonderful, insightful, exciting and impressive. I confirmed what I already suspected, which is you should be very proud of your schools and school district; I’m certain you are. The level of excellence I’ve seen over these first few days is truly remarkable, and I am thankful to join a community that supports kids and learning at such a high level.

I had the privilege of visiting 21 of our 31 schools this week, getting a chance to be in all three traditional high school feeder patterns and all grade levels. Touring the schools with our campus leaders, meeting teachers and students, and being in classrooms during instructional times gave me great insight into the inner workings of Northwest ISD and what makes this district so special. I am so pleased that during my campus visits, I immediately witnessed first-hand our core belief that “kids come first” in NISD. I’ve learned we have amazing kids, passionate teachers and excellent leadership.

I am enjoying getting to know everyone, learning more about the district and the many opportunities we have available to our students. Thanks to visionary leadership, talented staff and an engaged community, Northwest ISD is on a great path, and I am grateful to be part of the journey forward.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve your children and the Northwest ISD community. I look forward to meeting you and continuing the tradition of excellence.

Sincerely,

Mark Foust, Ed.D.
Superintendent
