Growing in Cleveland

Cleveland ISD opened as a one-room schoolhouse with 25 students in 1908. Over the next 100 years, the district grew to more than 3,000 students housed in five buildings. For decades, Cleveland ISD was classified as a 3A school district with very little growth. But in 2015, that all began to change. And change came quick. Since 2015, Cleveland ISD has grown to more than 11,500 students. Today, Cleveland ISD is classified as a 6A school district and competes against schools including The Woodlands High School, Grand Oaks High School, and College Park High School.

Football and Volleyball season is over; however, Basketball season is just beginning for Cleveland ISD! Here at Cleveland ISD you will find a lot of our elementary students that look up to our high school athletes, hoping one day to be in their shoes. With fast growth comes opportunities. The additional student enrollment allowed the district to expand its Career and Technical Education (CTE) and extra-curricular offerings. Students now can enroll in robotics,health sciences, and medical technician courses. Students can even become certified cosmetologists in the district’s state-of-the-art cosmetology lab. And in January, a Green Monster made its debut in the outfield of a newly constructed baseball and softball field at the Cleveland ISD Hal McClelland Sports Complex.

Our Athletic Directors, Brian Ricci and Daylyn Harris recognize the impact our high schoolers can have on the younger students, so with a select group of those high school athlete students the Athletic Directors have allowed them to visit the elementary campuses during the morning time to greet the elementary students as they arrive at school. This is, and has been an amazing way for our younger students to become excited about school and see that their dreams are attainable!

Now that we are several months into the school year and jumping into Fall with both feet, this begins an exciting time for our students. As the weather becomes chilly, and cold fronts move in, this gives everyone the feeling of the holidays! Our students become thrilled about the holiday season during school time. Lots of wonderful learning activities for them and the spirit of goodness and kindness is filled at all the campuses in our district. We at Cleveland ISD hope your family enjoys a restful and peaceful Thanksgiving Holiday
