News and Announcements

HPISD is closely monitoring the weather in partnership with the National Weather Service, Dallas County, and neighboring school districts as we prepare for this potential inclement weather.

Any updates regarding school delays or closures will be communicated to parents and staff through email, our website, social media channels, and text alerts.

Congratulations to Dr. Mike Rockwood, superintendent of schools, for being named Park Cities People's 2024 Person of the Year! We appreciate your outstanding leadership at HPISD!

January is School Board Recognition Month, and we are proud to celebrate and express our heartfelt gratitude to the HPISD Board of Trustees! Your leadership, vision, and dedication make a lasting impact on our students, staff, and community. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to guiding HPISD toward excellence in education!

In Ms. Johnson’s sixth-grade ELA class, students displayed their creativity and dedication through a gallery walk of their book models. While exploring each other’s projects, they shared insights and inspiration from their recent reads.

Thank you for supporting Bond 2024! Our community passed a maintenance & efficiency school bond, totaling $137.3 million.
The bond will address failing facility systems, needed repairs, safety updates, and make more funds available to increase teacher salaries. All of this will be accomplished without raising the HPISD tax rate—which remains the lowest in Dallas County.

The MIS halls are alive with the Sound of Music! Come see your 5th and 6th grade classmates bring this beloved musical to life!
Performances are Thursday, December 5 at 6pm, Friday, December 6 at 4pm and Saturday, December 7 at 2pm in the MIS/HPMS Auditorium.
