Northwest ISD annually recognizes Leadership that year's NISD participants at at a school board meeting, which also serves as the group graduation.

Welcome

Thank you for joining Leadership NISD! We look forward to a great year full of interaction, dialogue, and partnership. The purpose of Leadership NISD is to promote the vision of the district, develop community leadership to support the district’s success, and provide a resource for community input and involvement. We hope you enjoy the program and become ambassadors for NISD.

About Leadership NISD

Leadership NISD is an exciting program that involves parents and community members in a year-long dialogue with the school district. Leadership NISD allows participants to go behind the scenes for an in-depth look at Northwest ISD. Monthly early-morning sessions focus on specific areas of the district, including operations, curriculum and instruction, support services, athletics, school finance, and much more.  We hope that this program will encourage you to be future members of district committees and teams who make a difference in the school community as opinion leaders. Some Leadership NISD participants have even decided to run for a place on the NISD school board, and two former Leadership NISD participants have served on the NISD Board of Trustees. 

Membership Process

Members of Leadership NISD are nominated by a campus principal or district administrator for their interest in Northwest ISD. Each campus should be represented by at least one participant in the program. If campus nominees are unable to join the program or additional space is available, the district will consider self-nominated individuals with principal/administrator approval from a waitlist.

Leadership NISD is organized into eight monthly meetings, usually one Wednesday a month.

Graduation

Leadership participants will be recognized with a special pin and certificate at a graduation ceremony, honoring each person for completing the Leadership NISD program. Participants who attend at least six sessions are included in the recognition.
