Midland Families,

Welcome to the 2026-27 school year!

It is my pleasure to welcome our students, families, employees, and community partners to another exciting year in Midland ISD. Whether you are returning to one of our campuses or joining our district for the first time, we are grateful you are part of Midland ISD and look forward to the year ahead.

As we begin the 2026-27 school year, our theme, Expect Excellence, reflects the high standards we set for ourselves and for every student. It represents our commitment to providing exceptional learning experiences, ensuring every student has the opportunity to succeed, and equipping our team to meet these standards.

The beginning of a school year brings new opportunities and a renewed commitment to continuous improvement. Our classrooms will once again be filled with high standards, a commitment to meeting each standard where they are, and a drive to help each student reach their full potential. I am excited to see what our students and staff accomplish together.

As we begin this school year, we are entering the fourth year of our Strategic Plan focused on Student Experience, Grow & Develop Staff, and Engage & Act. This work provides a strong framework for improving student outcomes while helping us measure our progress and remain accountable to our community.

Throughout the year, we will continue sharing updates on our progress through newsletters, Board of Trustees monthly meeting recaps, and our district social media channels. We are proud of the work happening across Midland ISD and look forward to keeping you informed as we continue moving our district forward. I encourage you to stay connected with Midland ISD throughout the year by following us on social media. Every day, our students and staff accomplish remarkable things, and we look forward to celebrating those successes with you.

Thank you for choosing Midland ISD and for partnering with us in your child's education. It is an honor to serve over 28,000 students Pre-K3 through 12th grade, and I appreciate the trust you place in our schools. By working together, I know we will make this another successful year for our students.

Once again, welcome back! Let’s make this a great year. 

Sincerely,

Dr. Stephanie D. Howard
Superintendent, Midland ISD
