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.

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.
