HOUSTON — Houston ISD, under new superintendent Mike Miles, has designated 28 campuses as ‘New Education System,’ or NES, schools. On Tuesday, the district announced the principals of those schools.
The NES schools are Wheatley, Kashmere and North Forest high schools and the middle and elementary schools that feed into them. As we reported earlier this month, Miles said that employees at the NES schools would have to reapply for their jobs. According to HISD, 17 of the 28 principals will be returning to the campuses they led last school year.
*Schools getting new principals are in bold
The consistent academic failures at Wheatley High School is part of what led to the takeover. Wheatley had improved to a C under new HISD board members. Those board members were replaced by the TEA with a board of managers on June 1.
