A Quaker heritage that focused on church, family and schools
still remains as a way of life for the community of Friendswood
and it still continues to shape the character of the area.
Education is a top priority and Friendswood ISD is an award-winning
district with quality faculty and staff and tremendous community
involvement.
Leading by example, FISD continues to be recognized in the
area as well as in the state for test scores and accountability
ratings. Its Academic Decathlon Team is known nationally and
has more than a decade of consecutive State championships.
FISD has been named the fifth most efficient Texas School
District by the Texas Business Coalition. Friendswood High School
was named 1 of 13 Top High Schools in the State as well as 1
of 10 Top High Schools in the Houston area. The Band, Choir and
Drama Departments have been awarded exceptional honors annually.
FISD developed and put into place a pre-engineering program
that is now part of both the high school and junior high. Partnerships
with NASA based businesses and corporate programs continue to
enrich the innovative, rigorous academic programs. Athletics
in FISD are strong and State competitive.
Journey to Excellence is not only a theme for the district
but a reality for its students.

- FISD schools offer numerous extracurricular activities including
drama and musical productions, choir, band, service organizations
and clubs. The junior high and high school also compete in academic
contests including Academic
