Herod Elementary School serves our Southwest Houston community as a vital neighborhood education center. This Houston ISD campus welcomes 769 students from early childhood through 5th grade, creating a foundation for lifelong learning right here in our community.
This school matters because it provides free, quality public education that strengthens our entire neighborhood. When our elementary schools thrive, property values rise, families stay rooted, and children build connections that last. Herod Elementary offers not just classroom learning, but school meals, after-school programs, and family support services that help working parents and growing children succeed together.
For Southwest Houston families, this school directly impacts daily life. Parents can walk or drive their children to 5627 Jason Street, building community connections with other families. The school creates local jobs for teachers, staff, and support workers. Strong elementary schools also attract new families to our neighborhoods and support local businesses.
To get involved, parents can enroll their children by contacting Principal Jessica Berry at (713) 778-3315. The school also needs volunteers for reading programs, field trips, and special events. Community members can attend school board meetings, support school fundraisers, or mentor students. Check the Houston ISD website for volunteer opportunities and enrollment information. Every child deserves a strong start, and Herod Elementary helps make that happen in our community.
