Brazoswood High School, Brazoswood High School Ninth Grade Center, Clute Intermediate, Lanier Middle School
Brazoswood High School’s main campus joins Brazoswood Ninth Grade Center, Clute Intermediate, and Lanier Middle School in being named as Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase Schools
TM by the Flippen Group for the upcoming school year. These four schools have been recognized for their commitment to creating a safe and welcoming environment for all students, staff, and parents.
By implementing the Capturing Kids’ Hearts
Ⓡ processes, teachers and staff aim to enhance students’ connections with their peers and adults on campus. This creates an engaging classroom environment where students feel inspired to learn every day. Notably, Clute Intermediate School has achieved this distinction for four consecutive years, while Brazoswood High School’s Ninth Grade Campus and Lanier Middle School have both earned this prestigious award for the past three years.
BISD Superintendent Danny Massey expressed his pride in the staff’s efforts to build meaningful connections with their students and each other. “This national award highlights the importance of ensuring student success through building relational capacity,” he said.
The Flippen Group acknowledges and celebrates campuses that go the extra mile in building safe and connected environments for students and staff through the Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase Schools awards. These unsung heroes produce exemplary outcomes in schools and pave the way for other schools to follow.
The Flippen Group considered Capturing Kids’ Hearts campuses across the country for these awards based on three criteria: nomination based on observation, level of implementation of Capturing Kids’ Hearts processes by all staff as measured by online surveys, and data demonstrating that Capturing Kids’ Hearts has made a significant improvement in attendance, student management, climate/culture, or academics.
A Flippen Group team visited each nominated campus to gather additional quantitative and qualitative data, interviewing students, teachers, administrators, and parents. During the campus walk-through, they used a matrix of key measurements to gather information. Finally, an additional survey was conducted to collect feedback on the perceived climate and culture of the campus and its conduciveness to learning. The selection team reviewed all accumulated data and chose the schools that would receive the Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase Schools awards.
