Welcome from Hector Mendez – Superintendent

Welcome to Ector County Independent School District where we pride ourselves on our outstanding people and our commitment to providing exceptional instructional and extracurricular programs.  We just completed a great year as reflected by the achievement of our students on the state assessment.  One campus earned the highest rating of Exemplary and thirteen campuses achieved Recognized status; this is the largest number of campuses to be Recognized under the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) test.  We understand and acknowledge that we still have work to do, but the results of the past year will serve as a springboard to higher levels of accomplishment.  The results are also indicative of the commitment by our staff, our students, our parents, and our community in working toward becoming a premier district in the state.  Together we can achieve.

We are extremely fortunate and honored to have the support of our business community, particularly the Chamber of Commerce, which has been a willing partner in our efforts to improve the quality of life for Ector County.  This year a committee of eighteen (18) community/business members and nine (9) educators will participate in strategic planning.  The strategic planning process will guide and direct our thinking and planning in our quest for excellence and transforming our school system into one of the premiere districts in the state.

As we embark upon a new school year, we will continue to base our decisions on what is in the best interest of students; we will strive to provide the support necessary to help our campus administrators and classroom teachers provide quality instruction; and we will continue to nurture a team atmosphere so all stakeholders work collaboratively for the benefit of our students.

Again, welcome to ECISD.  Feel free to contact any of our departments or campuses if you have questions.
