We’ve learned that there is so much to celebrate about the history of Eanes; its spirit of independence, the beyond tight-knit community of the schools, and how the district has always been the best steward of its 50 year heritage. This week we’ll touch on some of these points of pride, but we’ll also start to delve into the culture of division that has taken root in the modern era of Eanes. We’ll be joined again by our previous guests, all Westlake High School Alumni, to try and understand why Eanes seems to be losing its trademark community and kindness: from long-held traditions canceled for questionable reasons, to topics of education that can’t seem to find broad support by parents.
We’re trying to start a productive conversation about the current state of Eanes Independent School District. Our hope is to find common ground as parents and leaders by discussing the history of EISD, the merits of leadership decisions happening right now, and the change in the district’s stated mission that could hold sway over its future. This conversation is vital because, like all parents, we want our children to grow as individuals, learn in a culture of excellence, and remain safe while doing it. EISD has delivered on all of these promises in the past, and now we must work hard to preserve it for our kids. No matter your stance on the issues, please join the conversation and believe in Eanes!
