our mission
Visit online - http://snipurl.com/mgonepower
In partnership with parents and
community, the Clear Creek ISD, as a
premier district in the state of Texas
seeks academic excellence for each
student to pursue a productive and
fulfilling life through a balanced
curriculum aligned with quality instruction
and asessment of achievement.
By educating all students to succeed, equipping them to
contribute to the community and to instilling in them a
vision to excel, CCISD is impacting child's lives each and
every day.

what does it mean to
Visit online - http://snipurl.com/mgonepower
“educate to succeed?”
\"Tom Taylor took the risk of dropping out from high school just to
play video games. The guy who is just 18 years old, was prompted
to take this step; because of the reason that emerged from his love
for gaming. After playing for six months on a full time basis the
guy signed a contract for a staggering $250,000.”
\"I take risks,\" he told The Palm Beach Post. \"In order to get paid,
you have to take risks. I think I took the biggest risk I could take,
dropping out of school to play video games, and it paid off.\"

While we teach whatever we teach at school, the kids go
home and learn the skills they need to survive and prosper
in an interconnected global economy.

21st century education
Teachers are no longer
mediators of content and
what gets shared by their
students with the world.
Students publish directly to the
Web and their teachers are lucky
if they can access it at school.

Culture change starts with
personal change. We become
agents by first altering our own
maps.
The process returns us to the
power of one and the
requirement of aligning and
empowering oneself before
successfully changing the
organization.
