District informationDescription of the districtThe Mount Pleasant Independent School District is located near the center of Titus County, 116 miles east of Dallas on Interstate 30. Titus County encompasses 230 square miles with a population of over 25,000. Mount Pleasant is the county seat and has a population of approximately 14,000. The Board of Trustees and its administration are constantly seeking to improve an already-excellent school system. In 2000, the Mount Pleasant community overwhelmingly endorsed a significant capital improvement plan that has resulted in 3 new elementary schools, additions to the Junior High, a new Cafeteria Building at Mount Pleasant High School, new gynasiums, new football field, track, tennis courts, and renovations to the High School.Instruction focuses on a comprehensive college preparatory and Career and Technology studies. The district is currently investing heavily in computer and multi media educational technology in a effort to meet the academic and occupational training demands of a highly competititve workplace. The curriculum of the Mount Pleasant ISD is continuously evaluated and updated in a effort to meet the needs of all students and the demands of the community, regional and national businesses, and industries. The district encourages and welcomes involvement from parents, civic organizations, industry, and local citizens to provide the best educational opportunities possible for its students.Mission statementPolicy AEMt. Pleasant Independent School District will have high expectations for all students. The district will make every effort to attract and retain the most qualified teachers available who will enhance the positive image of our schools in the community. The caring atmosphere provided by these teachers will help promote the positive self-image for the students in the district. MPISD will encourage positive staff morale by providing clean and attractive campuses.MPISD will emphasize a teaching/learning process that will enable students to see “real life” connections. Students will become responsible, productive citizens by learning to act in a socially acceptable manner through problem-solving, creative thinking, and wise decision-making. Authentic career investigation coupled with current vocational programs will meet the needs of each student. Enriched programming will be designed to prepare students for success in their personal future in the Twenty-First Century.Technology will enhance every program throughout the district. State-of-the-art software and hardware will be available to every student on a daily basis. Students will learn how to access information from a variety of high-tech sources by becoming proficient users of computers and peripherals.MPISD will address the important issues of “time” and communication. The optimum use of instructional time will lead to enhanced programs for all students. Communication between schools, administration, school board, community, families, and students will be open and honest and constantly improving. Staff, parents, and community will be given an opportunity to be involved in decision-making as we work together through the Accelerated Schools process. These combined efforts will continue to make MPISD the best school district in the state of Texas.District goals and objectivesPolicies AB,AFThe mission of the Texas public system is to ensure that all Texas children have access to a quality education that enables them to achieve their full potential and fully participate now and in the future in the social, economic, and educational opportunities in our state and nation. That mission is grounded on the conviction that a general diffusion of knowledge is essential for the welfare of Texas and for the preservation of the liberties and rights of Texas citizens. It is further grounded in the conviction that a successful public education system is directly related to a strong, dedicated, supportive family and that parental involvement in the school is essential for the maximum educational achievement of a child. The objectives of public education are:1) Parents will be full partners with educators in the education of their children.2) Students will be encouraged and challenged to meet their full educational potential.3) Through enhanced dropout prevention efforts, all students will remain in school until they obtain a diploma.4) A well-balanced and appropriate curriculum will be provided to all students.5) Qualified and highly effective personnel will be recruited, developed, and retained.6) Texas students will demonstrate exemplary performance in comparison to national and international standards.7) School campuses will maintain a safe and disciplined environment conducive to student learning.8) Educators will keep abreast of the development of creative and innovative techniques in instruction and administration using those techniques as appropriate to improve student learning.9) Technology will be implemented and used to increase the effectiveness of student learning, instructional management, staff development, and administration.
