Five Good Things in Spring

The car rider line looked a little different at Booker and Eickenroht Elementary — and for good reason! Through the Spring Votes initiative, funded by the Houston Endowment, families were greeted with snacks, drinks and helpful voter information while picking up their students. Team members partnered with the Houston Area Urban League to share details about the upcoming March election and even helped parents register to vote right there on the spot.

Spring Votes is all about strengthening civic engagement and making sure families have the tools they need to stay informed and involved. When schools and communities connect like this, everybody wins. Your voice matters — and Spring ISD is proud to help amplify it. 💚

Cue the sunshine and grab the crayons — our Little Leopards at Link Elementary School just had their artwork featured on ABC13 Weather Sketchers, and we are bursting with pride! 🎨✨ Some of our talented kindergarten artists saw their colorful creations light up the morning on ABC13 Weather, thanks to meteorologist Travis Herzog and the awesome Weather Sketchers Club spotlight.

With bright rainbows, bold trucks, smiling clouds and plenty of Texas-sized creativity, our Link Elementary School artists showed Houston exactly what Spring ISD imagination looks like. Their work brought joy to viewers across the city and proved that big talent comes in small packages. 🌦️💙

A huge thank-you to ABC13 for celebrating our students and giving them a platform to shine. Way to go, Link artists — your creativity made the forecast a little brighter for everyone!

The stage at Heritage Elementary School was filled with powerful voices as students stepped up to celebrate Black History Month in a big way! Scholars proudly presented on influential leaders including Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass, sharing stories of courage, leadership and lasting impact. Families and staff listened as students brought history to life with confidence and heart. 🤩 The celebration continued with a joyful sing-along and an energetic dance routine that had the crowd smiling and clapping along.

Heritage students showed poise, preparation and passion while honoring the trailblazers who shaped our nation. What an incredible way to celebrate learning, leadership and culture at Heritage! 🙌

Carl Wunsche Sr. High School turned up the heat in the best way with a chili cook-off that brought flavor and purpose together under one roof! Spring ISD Superintendent Kregg Cuellar, Ed Gonzalez, Harris County Sheriff and Tranita Carroll, Executive Director of Family and Community Engagement, along with staff, students and community members gathered to support the Sisterhood Program, an impactful group that opens doors for young women through leadership development, career pathways, mental health support and meaningful networking opportunities connected to Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs like law enforcement.

Judges had the tough job of sampling pot after pot of bold, smoky, secret-recipe goodness — and let’s just say, there were some serious contenders in the mix. The competition was friendly, the spice levels were brave, and the school spirit was fully seasoned. 🌶️👏

Students and teachers brought the Western flair for Go Texan Day! Campuses were filled with denim, fringe, plaid and plenty of cowboy style as students and staff leaned all the way into Houston Rodeo season. Boots echoed down hallways, hats tipped in greeting and classrooms turned into mini Texas showcases. The celebration also spotlighted the powerful impact of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, which awards millions of dollars in scholarships to Texas students each year — including Spring ISD scholars who's art will be included in this year's rodeo!

Campuses leaned into Houston Rodeo season with denim jackets, plaid shirts, fringe that meant business and hats that definitely did not fit inside lockers. Classrooms felt like little pockets of Texas celebration, and the energy carried all day long!

Spring ISD Pre-K applications for the 2026-27 school year open April 1, and families are encouraged to get ready now. The early years shape everything. Children ages 3 and 4 build critical skills in reading, thinking, problem-solving and social development that prepare them for kindergarten and beyond. District data shows students who attend Spring ISD Pre-K perform stronger on third grade STAAR Reading and Math assessments. A strong start matters!

FREE PK3 is available for eligible 3-year-olds who live within district boundaries or are children of Spring ISD employees. FREE PK4 is open to qualifying 4-year-olds, regardless of residency.
