Humble ISD spotlights Lake Houston Middle School opening and student career-certification achievements
Summary
Board recognized the district’s new Lake Houston Middle School and reported students earned more than 1,500 industry-based certifications in 2024–25, including a Humble High graduate who earned CompTIA IT credentials.
The Humble ISD Board of Trustees honored the opening of Lake Houston Middle School and highlighted career and technical education achievements, including more than 1,500 industry-based certifications earned systemwide in 2024–25.
Principal Peter introduced a short video, “Hawks in the Hall,” showcasing Lake Houston Middle School’s staff, extracurricular plans and new facilities. “We’ve opened our hearts, and now we are ready to open our doors,” Principal Peter said in the video.
Superintendent Dr. Brown and board members praised the work of associate superintendent Dr. Jason Seibert and operations staff for having the new campus ready early. “That is just unheard of to get in that early, before the start of school,” Dr. Brown told the board.
Separately, Dr. Melissa Lee, senior director of personalized student success, reported Humble ISD students earned over 1,500 industry-based certifications last year — up by nearly 600 from the previous year. “A 100% of our students in our brand-new dental assistant program earned their dental assistant permits,” Lee said. She also reported that 97% of cosmetology students earned their cosmetology licenses and that many students earned two or more certifications.
The board recognized Harrison Alexander, a recent Humble High School graduate, for earning both the CompTIA ITF and CompTIA A+ certifications — credentials used by industry employers. Teacher Scott Ford and teacher Christie Ford joined trustees in commending the district’s CTE instructors. “These kids are working their butts off,” Scott Ford said, noting students who may not thrive in traditional academic programs can find career pathways through CTE courses.
Board members said they will continue seeking new career-technical programs and publicized plans to highlight CTE outcomes in future agenda items.
The recognitions were presented as an informational item; no board action was associated with the presentations.
