Disponible en:

On Monday, May 8, Aldine ISD hosted a conference at Eisenhower Ninth Grade Campus, to announce their partnership with the College Football Playoff Foundation, 2024 Host Committee and Good Reason Houston for their Houston Loves Teachers campaign, in which a mural will be created at the Eisenhower campus.

The mural will be the product of a mentorship program in relation to the Houston Loves Teachers campaign. The campaign is a collective impact campaign, aimed at recruiting and retaining great teachers in the Houston area.

“This will be an artistic collaboration between our students and local artists,” said Superintendent Dr. LaTonya M. Goffney. “It will reflect shared values of our teachers and educators, who are the beating hearts of our school communities.”

The mural will be executed by a selected local artist and Aldine ISD students. The concept of the design will implement an element of acknowledging and honoring teachers within the Houston area, and will be completed by September 15, 2023.

Aldine ISD art students will choose what ideas they feel encompass the theme of the campaign, and the artist will interpret those ideas and turn it into the final design. In addition to helping each other finalize the design, AISD students, ranging from various grade levels, will all assist in the painting of the mural.

“These are the types of campaigns that Aldine ISD looks to be a part of, the kind that can spotlight the community, while also showing our appreciation to the teachers that make up our districts,” said Dr. Goffney. “We are excited to have been able to partner with multiple organizations who feel the same about education.”
