Extraordinary Accomplishments

C-FB ISD is an innovative leader in learning. Our innovation and leadership result in great success for students. During this past school year, we have made giant leaps. We have seen increased student achievement; we finished bond construction projects; and we initiated new instructional programs. I am so, so proud of our many accomplishments!

  • The Texas Public Policy Foundation honored R. L. Turner as a High Performing Math and Science High School. Only 18 schools in Texas were named “shining examples of places where students are achieving success in math and science." WOW!
  • The Texas Public Policy Foundation honored Creekview as a High Performing Math High School. Only twenty-eight schools in Texas received this honor. Great, great, great!
  • The Texas Business and Education Coalition announced that six C-FB ISD schools had earned recognition on the 2007 TBEC Honor Roll. The TBEC Honor Roll is the most prestigious award for sustained, academic excellence in Texas. The schools named were Blalack, Kent, McCoy, McKamy, Rainwater, and Country Place. Awesome job!
  • Texas Monthly Magazine published its list of the Best Public Schools in Texas. C-FB ISD had 14 schools make the list - an increase from eight schools on the list in 2006. Schools making the list are: Blanton, Good, Kent, Landry, McCoy, McKamy, Blalack, Barbara Bush, Vivian Field, Long, Polk, Creekview, Smith, and Ranchview. Way to go!
  • Our district earned national recognition for controlling pests safely and efficiently from the IPM Institute of North America. We are one of only two districts in Texas and one of only 33 districts in the nation to receive the Integrated Pest Management Star certification. Congratulations Team!
  • Most importantly, preliminary results from the Texas Education Agency show that C-FB ISD will be a Recognized School District. Yea!

My heart fills with pride every time a teacher, student or campus receives accolades. I am blessed to work in a district with such wonderful professionals, families and community members.
