At Houston ISD, we believe great schools start with great people. That’s why we’re building a system where educators and staff are supported, rewarded, and empowered to make a real difference in the lives of students.

Whether you’re a teacher, principal, or one of the many people who support the work that happens at schools, you’ll be part of a district that puts students first and is committed to delivering the high-quality education every child deserves.

When you work at HISD, you’re helping transform public education in Houston. You’ll join a community of educators who are focused on results, driven by purpose, and supported through coaching, collaboration, and shared accountability.

If you believe in the power of education and want to be part of something bigger, HISD is the place to make your impact.

Working at HISD means joining a district that is serious about supporting educators and raising the bar of what is possible for students and for those who teach them. Here’s how:

Coaching and Development

Teachers, principals, and staff receive regular, growth-focused feedback to continuously improve instruction. Through the Teacher Excellence System (TES) and principal training programs, HISD ensures that educators are supported every step of the way.

A System That Values Results

Starting in the 2025–2026 school year, all teachers will be evaluated through TES, a comprehensive system that reflects classroom performance, student learning, professionalism, and school-wide contributions.

Pay-for-Performance for Teachers and Principals

In 2026–2027, HISD will launch a new pay-for-performance (PFP) model for teachers that ties compensation to impact. That means:

• Higher average teacher salaries

• Clear pathways to increase base pay

Principals are already part of one of the most rigorous performance-based compensation systems in the country, recognizing their role in leading school improvement.
