Always evolving...
Always teaching...
Always HCDE.
We’re HCDE – always evolving. Our services to the education community change with your needs. We continue to grow and adapt our services as we study best practices in education to continue to better equip you.
HCDE is still in the business of teaching individuals. Teaching is our cornerstone. Maybe you need to gain English skills or obtain a GED, want to become a principal, brush up on classroom management or gain bilingual certification. We can help! Perhaps your family needs assistance with your infant who has shown signs of developmental delays. Or you might need after-school programs or want to enroll your little one in Head Start. Your school district requires our Special Schools services to educate emotionally disturbed, disabled, or adjudicated youth. We’re HCDE, your education connection.
Since 1889, we’ve been serving learners and educators in greater Harris County. Always HCDE. We’re a county department of education that serves 25 Harris County school districts and students. HCDE provides services for individuals from birth through senior adulthood. On the average, we receive $10 per Harris County homeowner (based on a $150,000 home with no exemptions). By leveraging tax funds, HCDE is awarded millions of dollars in competitive state and federal grant funds to allow us to provide approximately $90 million in services to Harris County school districts. Through these efforts, our track record of equalizing education in Harris County is well established.
Today’s schools need to be smart about all kinds of issues- school safety, curriculum advancements, therapy for children with disabilities, buying-power for school commodities, facility construction, and training to recruit and retain new teachers.
