At the heart of the success in Conroe ISD is the District’s philosophy of “All Means ALL.” Dr. Don Stockton who retired as the District Superintendent in 2018 set a clear vision for the District in that, “Students graduate with confidence and competence; they are successful in our schools and after they graduate. All students should feel that all adults care about their success.” In his 33 years in Conroe ISD, Dr. Stockton’s motto remained consistent, “Every student matters; all of them.”

The legacy of “All Means ALL” continues under the leadership of Dr. Curtis Null the District’s Superintendent of Schools. Dr. Null has 19 years of experience in education, serving 17 years in Conroe ISD. He has served as assistant superintendent of Secondary Education, principal of Conroe High School, principal of Peet Junior High School, assistant principal at Knox Junior High School and athletic trainer at The Woodlands High School.

At present, under the leadership of Dr. Null, Conroe ISD has over 64,000+ students with an anticipated increase of approximately 1,500 students per year. Our students arrive at one of our 64 campuses with a new junior high opening in fall 2020.

Conroe ISD has implemented Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), which are ongoing processes wherein educators work collaboratively to evaluate recurring cycles of data to ensure student learning occurs and achieve better results for all students they serve. The work of PLCs includes intentional and continuous staff learning, which is essential in order for staff to make improvements to their own practice and truly impact student learning at higher levels. PLCs are action oriented, committed to continuous improvement, and results oriented. The three big ideas of a PLC include a focus on learning, creating a collaborative culture, and results-oriented thinking to address intervention and/or enrichment needs for students, as well as determine ongoing adult training.
