Established
in 1948 as a consolidated system, the Clear Creek Independent School District
is widely recognized for its forward-looking educational techniques and
diverse academic programs. Holding to the guiding principal that the welfare
of the child is of utmost importance, the district strives to provide
curriculum and facilities to accommodate the various aptitudes and educational
needs of students from many backgrounds.
To
meet this goal, educational programs are designed to help all students
develop to their maximum potential. The district fosters a solid elementary
program, a broad secondary curriculum, specialized instruction for exceptional
children, and challenges for the gifted and talented. The Clear Creek
School District is backed by strong community support in its efforts to
provide the type of quality education that will help students become creditable
and well adjusted citizens.
Boundaries
of C.C.I.S.D. embrace 120 square miles in southern Harris County and northern
Galveston County, and serve a population approaching 175,000 citizens.
At one time, the community was primarily job-oriented toward the nation's
aerospace program. In recent years, the area has become increasingly diversified
with many residents employed in the Bayport Industrial complex and others
in the ever-growing commercial establishments.
The
district has grown from a rural community with four small schools and
an enrollment of less than 1,000 students to a suburban district with
27 modern neighborhood schools.
The
regular instructional program is enhanced by extra-curricular activities,
including field trips and interscholastic competition. At the elementary
levels, special music and physical education teachers are part of each
school staff. Certified librarians and nurses are on duty in all schools.
At
the secondary levels, vocational education and college preparation courses
are available. Programs and services are available for the handicapped,
ages three through twenty-one, as well as for the gifted and talented
students of the district. The school program also includes guidance counselors
and diagnosticians.
