HOUSTONIANS FOR GREAT PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Great school boards
drive student success
Houston parents, voters, and elected leaders will act to create and maintain excellent public schools in every neighborhood.
Houston GPS’ mission is to improve education outcomes for students in Houston by selecting, supporting, and electing school board leaders who commit to ensuring there is a great public school in every neighborhood.
WHAT WE DO
Houston GPS will:
Advocate
Advocate for student-centered policy priorities that improve the conditions in public schools for students to succeed
Support
Support and elect leaders who advance those policies on local school district boards
Unite
Unite parents, voters, candidates, and elected leaders around a shared agenda for transformational change in Houston school districts
GPS Core Values
STUDENTS FIRST
GPS will only support policies and leaders who put the academic needs of students first in all decision making.
ACCOUNTABILITY
GPS will set a high bar for education leadership, communicate it clearly, and demand education leaders meet those expectations.
Elections are the first step in holding leaders accountable, not the last. We will organize voters, parents, and community members to advocate for a student-centered agenda and hold school district trustees accountable for the decisions they make during their terms.
EMPOWERMENT
GPS will invest in local communities and local leaders to empower them to advocate directly to decision makers.
GPS will engage communities and educate voters to understand the issues, participate in the electoral process, and have a voice in selecting the people who will make decisions on their behalf.
