2023 Prosper ISD Annual Report

ANNUAL REPORT A NNUAL REPORT

Prosper ISD Family,

Embracing excellence every day, in every way, highlights our dedication to promoting a culture of excellence that encompasses education, character development, and active community involvement. This message remains at the forefront of our educational mission, reflected in both our academic pursuits and extracurricular ambitions, which we consistently share with our community.

Exceptional student achievements and substantial student enrollment growth marked the 2022-2023 school year. In Fall 2022, Joyce Hall Elementary was opened, and we continued planning for two new elementary schools, an early childhood school, as well as a new high school to open in Fall 2023. Furthermore, our enrollment increased by more than 3,300 students, solidifying our position as one of the fastest-growing school districts in the state of Texas.

Our academic accomplishments have soared to new heights as students have exceeded their personal expectations and shown eagerness to learn. Participation in extracurricular activities has significantly increased, and our programs have expanded. Our students’ remarkable growth in character and leadership is a source of inspiration and motivation as they seize every chance to learn and grow, guided and encouraged by our dedicated educators, who continue to pour into our students every day. Our families provide support to our teachers and staff as they partner with us to create memorable experiences for every child.

The Prosper ISD School Board, Prosper Promise, and Prosper Education Foundation remain dedicated to helping our district by providing support, resources, and tools necessary to create unique opportunities for our students, teachers, and staff. These opportunities and resources open doors to educational experiences that enrich the lives of our students throughout their entire academic journey.

As we review the past year as a district, we have seen our students transform into confident, capable individuals, and we are so proud of their outstanding achievements. The 2022-2023 school year has reaffirmed our belief in the unlimited potential of our students. I invite you to take a look back at the remarkable accomplishments of the past year as we continue striving for excellence this school year. We are truly Prosper Proud.

Sincerely,

Dr. Holly Ferguson Superintendent of Schools
