About Pasadena ISD

Pasadena ISD was created in March of 1898 and was the first independent school district in Harris County. The district includes most of Pasadena, South Houston, a portion of Houston (including Genoa), and a portion of Pearland.

In December 1904 the schoolhouse was moved to a new location and enlarged to three classrooms for 56 students. A two-story structure with six classrooms, an auditorium and a bell tower was completed in August 1910 on this site. Grades one through seven met in this building, and the few students who advanced to high school were sent to the secondary school in Harrisburg. The Pasadena High School program began in 1923.

The South Houston and Genoa school districts were absorbed by the Pasadena Independent School District in 1935, and the district grew rapidly. Jackson Junior High was erected in 1937. At the end of World War II the district had more than 3,700 students. Several elementary schools and a junior high were added in the 1950s and 1960s; by 1970 enrollment reached 35,000. The district continues to develop to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

Making Memories, Building Dreams

"Pasadena Independent School District gets involved with students as much as they can! They offer opportunities and help out the community as much as they can. When hurricane Harvey hit Pasadena, TX, there were teachers from the PISD district helping out those in need! It has been a wonderful experience being a part of this district and I would not change anything!"

"I have gone to Pasadena ISD schools from Kinder to my Senior year. The opportunities available to me were endless. The support of my teachers and administration helped me do my best in the classroom. The coaches within the District set a high standard and hold each player to it, creating a culture that is positive. I feel they have prepared me for college and helped direct my path."

"I believe PISD is a great district, but I specifically have had a great experience with Fred Robert's Middle School. They have many incentives for kids and a lot of activities that entice parents to come to the school and interact with their children. My daughter loves the clubs they offer. School isn't just about academics, it is also learning how to build relationships. Fred Roberts does a great job of teaching the kids how to be social with all the different activities they implement in their daily lessons." - Niche Reviews
