"Conquering Tomorrow Today By Exploring the World Through Math, Science, and Technology"

Curriculum
Fondren provides a rigorous curriculum that reaches beyond traditional boundaries.  In addition to a solid academic program in Math, Science, and Technology,  Fondren's magnet program offers exceptional opportunities such as an intensive computer training lab where students learn graphics, digital imaging, and animation.  Fondren is also the only middle school in HISD to lead an annual trip to Big Bend National Park where students learn ecology, biology and geology firsthand.

Students
To qualify for Fondren's magnet program, students must meet the requirements specified by HISD.  This guarantees that the students in our program are of the highest caliber.  Every year, students who graduate from Fondren's magnet program are accepted into the finest magnet high schools including DeBakey High School for the Health Professions, Bellaire Foreign Language, and the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts.

Staff
Fondren's magnet program is staffed by highly qualified and dedicated teachers from round the country and world.  Our teachers actively and continuously seek out professional development opportunities to ensure that Fondren's students are never left behind.  Additionally, every teacher in our program is certified to tech G/T and Pre-AP.

The Winner's Circle
Our magnet students consistently score above the state and district average on all subtests of TAKS.  We will accept no less and will increase our passing rate every year.

Preparing Students for the Future
Employment projections indicate the best job prospects will be in fields that integrate Science, Mathematics, and Technology.  The Houston business community requires graduates who are fully prepared to work in these fields.  The Texas Medical Center, Johnson Space Center, petroleum and chemical plants, engineering, finance, telecommunications, and transportation are just some of the professions requiring Science, Math and Technology skills.  By focusing on these skills, Fondren's magnet program prepares students for the future.

Even More!
