PLEASANTON ISD
Pleasanton ISD is destined to be a lighthouse district for Texas. We are a community of learners – teachers, students, parents, and community partners – all committed to continuously improving the quality of learning and living in Pleasanton. Beginning with a Primary campus solely devoted to early development of foundation skills and a joy in learning, PISD prides itself in assuring that each campus provides a setting unique to the needs of a diverse student population. Students enjoy dynamic primary, elementary, and intermediate school experiences with full support of their academic, social, emotional, and physical development. A walk through any of these campuses reflects students engaged in the excitement of learning with a feeling of safety and encouragement. Parents are welcome members of each campus as volunteers, tutors, and ‘cheer’ leaders for the daily work of student and staff. The transition to the Junior High (grades 7-8) allows for a comfortable shift to even more challenging courses with expanded opportunities in areas of interest such as athletics, fine arts, second languages, and career exploration. Programs are provided which specifically target the early teen years, with a focus on bully-free schools, social connections, and individual strengthening of self-concept. Pleasanton High School is fully engaged in a revision year – where students and staff will be working together to identify pathways of learning to support all students graduating into successful post-graduate careers and/or college experiences. With a goal of creating an environment that assists students in becoming independent learners and self-confident young adults, PHS is committing to a promise for all students to meet with academic and social success. An emphasis is placed on foundation skills in core coursework, with fully articulated learning in career pathways, healthy lifestyles, and fine arts engagement. A Pleasanton ISD graduate will be a respected and coveted title that represents a young adult capable of self-sufficiency, good citizenry, lifelong appreciation for physical health and arts engagement, and academic preparedness. Our goal is for the Pleasanton ISD experience to result in exemplary post-graduate lives with full career and college options!
