Superintendent Dr. Cris ValdezWelcome to Mission CISD,

 

As your Superintendent, I am honored to share in the Mission CISD journey as we strive for educational excellence, community connection, and a future full of opportunity for every student. Mission CISD is more than just a district; it’s a community of lifelong learners, dedicated educators, and supportive families, all united in our commitment to providing the very best for our students.

 

At Mission CISD, we believe that every student deserves access to a high-quality, innovative education that prepares them to thrive in an ever-evolving world. We are committed to educational excellence and innovation, with programs designed to challenge and inspire, ensuring each student has the resources and support they need to succeed both in and beyond the classroom. Through these initiatives, we equip our students not only with knowledge but also with the critical thinking, creativity, and resilience they need to become active, engaged citizens.

 

Our community’s strength is built on the foundation of strong partnerships. Mission CISD thrives because of the dedication of our parents, teachers, staff, and community members who work together to support our students. This page is part of our ongoing efforts to keep you informed and involved in our mission. Transparency and open communication are essential to fostering the trust that binds us together as a community, and I encourage you to reach out, stay informed, and participate in our shared goals for growth and achievement.

 

Our district’s heartbeat is its diversity and cultural pride. We are immensely proud of the rich cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives that make up our student body and staff. It is our priority to create an environment where all students feel seen, respected, and celebrated, and we are committed to inclusivity in every aspect of our district’s operations and interactions.

 

As we look forward, Mission CISD’s vision remains clear: to cultivate a supportive, inspiring environment where students are prepared to lead, learn, and succeed. We are committed to a holistic approach that prioritizes student-centered success, focusing not only on academics but on their overall well-being. Through resources in wellness, mental health, and safety, we are actively creating a district that cares deeply about each child’s success and health.

 

Thank you for being part of the Mission CISD community and for your trust and support as we work together to build a brighter future. I look forward to sharing in the successes and celebrations that lie ahead and am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve.

 

With warmest regards,

 

Dr. Cris Valdez
