Tomball ISD Earns EVERFI Empowered Seal for Second Consecutive Year

For the second straight year, Tomball Independent School District (TISD) has been honored with the prestigious EVERFI Empowered Seal, highlighting its unwavering commitment to providing students with an evidence-informed education that prepares them for real-world success.

Now in its fifth year, the EVERFI Empowered Seal is awarded to public school districts that excel in delivering comprehensive education strategies on crucial topics such as financial literacy, health, and career readiness. This recognition places TISD among the top 10% of districts nationwide, showcasing its dedication to whole-child education.

"EVERFI remains a vital resource in Tomball ISD's restorative approach to discipline, and we are proud to have earned the Empowered District Seal for the second consecutive year," said Steve Shiels, TISD Director of Guidance and Counseling. "This recognition underscores our commitment to educating the whole child. EVERFI's modules, which cover essential topics like conflict resolution, substance abuse prevention, and mental wellness, empower our students with the skills and knowledge they need to make better decisions, with over 2,700 courses completed by TISD students last year alone."

In addition to national recognition, the EVERFI Empowered Seal offers districts the opportunity to apply for the Empowered Seal grant. Six winning districts will receive a $1,000 grant, which they can donate to a nonprofit of their choice.

TISD is dedicated to educating students to become responsible, productive citizens through innovative, individually rigorous, and personally valuable educational experiences. Founded in 1908, TISD covers 83 square miles in northwest Harris County and southwest Montgomery County, approximately 30 miles from downtown Houston. The district serves over 23,000 students across 24 campuses.
