A Welcome from our Principal:
Welcome to the web site for the Hendrick Hawks. We hope this helps you get to know all about the school your child attends. Our motto is “Failure is Not an Option” and our mission is to make every student successful. Positive Relationships with our students, a Rigorous curriculum and making learning Relevant are cornerstones of our school.
Hendrick has approximately 880 students and 86 staff members. Each student is placed on an academic team which consists of four core teachers who meet weekly to oversee the academic and social needs of the students. We have a comprehensive elective program in fine arts, athletics, foreign language, art and skills for living. Our goal is to afford the students ample opportunities to explore a variety of courses and learning experiences.
We welcome parents and need their involvement in providing an education for the students. The administrative team is always available to answer any questions or listen to comments and concerns.
If you want to contact me for any reason, please email me at Sheila.Spencer@pisd.edu.

For the Concert 1 Band, the outstanding sections were: Bassoons, Flutes, Trombones and Trumpets. Congratulations to all these individuals and to the groups as they worked very hard all year for these awards!
PISD's IB Program
PISD's International Baccalaureate Program is a rigorous course of study designed to meet the needs of highly motivated secondary students and to promote international understanding. The effectiveness of the IB program is due not only to the depth of the individual courses, but also to the comprehensive nature of the program. Unlike other honors programs, the IB Program requires each student to take courses in six academic areas. To qualify for the International Baccalaureate Diploma, students must take examinations in six subject areas, participate in the Creativity, Action, and Service (CAS) program, and write an extended essay during the 11th and 12th grade years.
