Mission, Vision and Core Values
Mission Statement
​
Our mission at Greater Houston Community Partners of Innovative Schools is to empower first-generation and at-risk youth to reach their potential by completing their secondary education and enrolling in and graduating from an institution of higher education.
Vision Statement
We envision a future where all students—regardless of their background—have the support, opportunity, and belief in their own potential to excel academically and personally. Through collaborative partnerships and targeted programming, we strive to ensure that the zip code a child is born into does not determine the quality of their education or the trajectory of their future.
Core Values and Pillars
We are guided by four foundational pillars that shape every initiative, program, and partnership:
​
INSPIRING CHANGE
We ignite hope and motivation in students and educators, encouraging them to reimagine what’s possible. By fostering a culture of growth and resilience, we help individuals and institutions embrace meaningful change.
​
INFORMING PRACTICE
We elevate education through evidence-based strategies and informed decision-making. By sharing knowledge, offering training, and promoting continuous learning, we equip schools and partners with the tools to improve student outcomes.
​
EMPOWERING STUDENTS
We believe students are powerful agents of their own success. Our programs nurture confidence, leadership, and self-advocacy—ensuring every young person is equipped to pursue their goals with purpose and pride.
​
TRANSFORMING SCHOOLS
We don’t just support individual students—we work to build sustainable change within schools. By fostering innovation, strengthening leadership, and embedding a culture of continuous improvement, we help transform campuses into thriving communities of success.
