Final Exam Schedule for 9th-11th

5/12/2025 11:54 am

Grade 9 students may be allowed one spring final exam exemption; two spring final exam exemptions may be allowed for eligible 10th and 11th graders.  Eligible students are those with no more than three (3) absences in any one course for the duration of the semester. In addition, eligible students must have an 85 or higher semester average in the specific course(s) where the final exam exemption is applied. 
Students are expected to be in attendance for all exams even if they are exempt.  Missing a final exam will result in a zero on the report card until the final exam is made up. The make-up period is June 5 - 12, 2025. After that date the zero is final.  If a student has exempted an exam and is absent, the absence could cause the students to lose exemption status and/or could cause an NG resulting in a loss of credit.

First Lunch consists of students in the M building and the G building
Second Lunch consists of students in the A and V Building

Advocacy Update

HISD Advocacy:  If you missed the May Board meeting, you can watch it here.  There is only one more budget workshop scheduled, for May 22 at 1pm.  Budget and, relatedly, enrollment is a concern for many in the district.  The Houston Chronicle recently reported an 18% drop in HISD school choice applications.  (Heights HS’s decline in applications was much smaller.) 

State Advocacy:  There are just a few more weeks left in the legislative session.  The House and Senate are negotiating whether to increase public school funding.  The House version includes the highest increase:  $9.1 billion.  While that may seem like a large amount, public schools would need an additional $19.6 billion simply to keep up with inflation since 2019.  Want a quick way to advocate for AT LEAST $9.1 billion in increased public education funding?  Click here.
