Achieving Community Excellence) Foundation has partnered with the Houston School District for the past several years to fund an incentive program for students who show growth or score proficient or advanced on state testing. Houston High School recently awarded students for their achievements on state tests for the 2015-2016 school year in Algebra 1, Biology 1, U.S. History and English 2. Fifty students scored advanced on state testing. Eighty-five students scored proficient, and sixty-one students were recognized for passing and showing growth. The Houston School District would like to thank the PACE Foundation for their partnership to promote excellence among students.
