May 19, 2025 Board Recap

Adding to Walnut Grove High School’s incredible year, the Boys Soccer Team brings home the school's second team state championship of the year.

With an undefeated season in 2024–2025, this powerhouse team scored an impressive 102 goals and allowed just 12 — and made history as the first Prosper ISD boys soccer team to win a state title.

The team wrapped up the season with six 1st place finishes, nine top-3 finishes, six individual wins, and 16 top-five finishes. Along the way, the Wildcats were crowned District Champions, Regional Champions, and ultimately State Champions. Leading the charge, Grant Clapp secured a 3rd place individual finish to help clinch the title

The dynamic duo of Blake and Matteo captured the State Championship title in Boys Doubles last week, capping off a perfect season. Not only did they go undefeated, but they also did not drop a single set all year – a remarkable feat in high school tennis.

They won 8 tournaments this season and brought home top honors both on and off the court. Both athletes earned academic accolades, with Blake receiving Texas High School Coaches Association Academic All-State Honorable Mention.

9. B. The administration will provide a report on Bond 2019/Bond 2023 construction projects

9. C. The administration will provide a report on new Prosper ISD Strategic Priorities developed collaboratively with students, teachers, staff, parents, and community members of Prosper ISD

Our 2025-2030 strategic plan was developed through an inclusive process involving over 400 stakeholders, including staff, students, parents, and community members. Through surveys and listening circles, we identified four core priorities that will guide our district's future:

Together We Champion

We support every student on their journey to excellence by addressing individual needs in our fast-growing district. With our exceptional teachers and staff, we commit to transforming each student's dreams into success while fostering kindness and good character.

Together We Cultivate

We create meaningful connections across our growing community. Recognizing that our students' success depends on the strength of their community support, we proactively integrate new families and staff members into our culture of excellence.

Together We Empower

We embrace our mission of ensuring all learners are learning at all levels. This applies to students, staff members, parents, and community members alike. We develop our people to lead and inspire, viewing our growth as an opportunity rather than a challenge. We prioritize employee well-being to retain our talented educators while recruiting new staff to meet our expanding needs.

Together We Prosper

We unite in a shared purpose while honoring each individual's uniqueness. We actively involve families in their children's education, with parents leading campus tours across our growing number of schools. We celebrate both our longtime families and newcomers as we work together toward prosperity for all.

These four values—Champion, Cultivate, Empower, and Prosper—form the foundation of our strategic vision and will guide all our efforts through 2030.
