When we asked our community what makes Ennis ISD strong, the answer kept coming back to our
people.
Our educators were described again and again as caring, committed, and deeply connected to students.
Pride in this community came through in every survey, focus group, and interview. And families, alumni
and neighbors keep showing up for our kids.
You can see it every day: in a classroom here, a grade level there, a campus that figured something out
and made it work.
Excellence already lives in Ennis. This plan makes it the standard in every classroom, every grade, and
every campus, for every family.

Before we wrote a single word of our new strategic plan, we listened.
We received 352 survey responses in English and Spanish. We held five focus groups with families,
educators, students, community members, and district leaders, interviewed our trustees individually,
and visited six campuses, inside classrooms, on typical school days.
Parents. Teachers. Staff. Neighbors. Partners. Students.
What you told us shaped this plan. Over the next several weeks, we'll share the strategic plan's five
priorities: what we heard, what the data showed, and where we're going together.
Excellence is the Ennis standard. It starts here, with the voices of the people who live it every day.

Today, we are proud to kick off Texas Safe Schools Week – a time to recognize the vital role we all play in creating learning environments where every student feels safe, supported, and ready to succeed.
School safety is everyone’s responsibility. This vital work can only be achieved through the collaboration, dedication, and leadership of educators, administrators, first responders, mental health professionals, parents, and students – each playing a critical role in protecting our schools.
While this week shines a spotlight on the importance of safety in education, we know that your commitment extends far beyond – making school safety a priority every single day.
