Spring Branch Independent School District is a school district headquartered in Hedwig Village, Texas (USA). The district serves a portion of Houston not covered by the Houston Independent School District and is located in the western part of the city, also including several small municipalities known as the Memorial Villages in its jurisdiction, such as Hedwig Village and Spring Valley Village. A majority of the district lies within Houston city limits.

The school district's boundaries include Hempstead Road to the northeast (formerly US 290), Interstate 610 to the east, Clay Road to the north, the Addicks Dam to the west, and Buffalo Bayou to the south. Spring Branch serves 33,000 kindergarten through 12th grade students and includes a region with 188,000 residents.

The Spring Branch ISD area is not a part of the Houston Community College System tax base.

SBISD is not to be confused with the Spring Independent School District, also located in the Greater Houston area (the latter is located in the northern portion of the region).

[edit] History

Spring Branch Education Center

The origins of the school district date from a school built cooperatively by farmers in the area in the 1850s. The area did not become urban until the expansion of Houston city limits in the 1950s, which followed a failed attempt by the entire Spring Branch region to incorporate into a single entity, leading to the establishment of the Memorial Villages. There are currently four traditional high schools (grades 9-12), all of which are in 5A, eight middle schools (grades 6-8), and twenty-six elementary schools (grades K-5), and six early education Pre-K centers in the district. Three more high school centers serve students in grades 9-12 with various purposes, including one public charter school.

[edit] Governance

Spring Branch ISD is led by a Superintendent of Schools, Duncan Klussmann, chosen by the Board of Trustees, headed by President Susan Kellner. The Board of Trustees is elected by voters living in Spring Branch.
