Message from Superintendent Dr. DeeAnn Powell

We're very excited to be a part of the DonorsChoose District Partnership Program! The partnership opens up new opportunities for our teachers to fund projects that will help provide the educational experiences our students need to be prepared to thrive in the 21st Century. By partnering with DonorsChoose, we can better support Pasadena ISD teachers who are creating lessons that increase students' excitement about coming to school every day.

Thank you for your support of Pasadena ISD teachers and students!
