"When the IB program started in 2020, I wasn’t sure what to expect — but it has made all the difference for my son. Now in high school, he’s part of leadership and advanced placement programs, and he often says that the IB mindset from Sam Houston taught him how to think for himself and communicate effectively. The program planted seeds that are still growing today."
"As someone who has served as an Instructional Coach and now as Assistant Principal at Sam Houston Elementary, I’ve had a unique perspective on the IB program. I’ve seen the incredible growth in students, and personally, I’ve witnessed my three daughters flourish in this environment. The IB program doesn’t just teach academics it nurtures curiosity, creativity, and the skills to think critically and act with integrity. Seeing my own children develop these traits while also supporting all students as a school leader has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. Sam Houston’s IB program truly prepares students not just for middle and high school, but for life."
"Sam Houston Elementary’s IB program has brought so much pride to our community. My child has learned empathy, respect, and global awareness values that go beyond academics. The projects, discussions, and service learning experiences have helped them understand that they can make a difference, even at a young age. IB has truly shaped who they are becoming."
