School of Excellence in Education

Dear Parents and Community Members,

Welcome to the School of Excellence in Education. Parents, you and your child have chosen one of the best charter school districts in San Antonio, Texas. We pride ourselves in making sure all students receive the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills that will ensure them of future success academically. Therefore, let me take this opportunity to say thank you for sending your child to the School of Excellence in Education.

As a result, your child will receive an exemplary education administered by a group of teachers that are innovative, caring, and who believes “Above All Children First.” The staff at the School of Excellence in Education views themselves as a bridge that invites students to cross and establish their own bridges to educational success. The theme this year is “I Believe”…

‘I Believe in You,
You Believe in Me,
Together, We Believe in Each Other’

We also believe it takes an entire village to educate a child. Therefore, we welcome volunteers, mentors, and parents at all of our campuses. Furthermore, we invite parents to join our campus Parent Teacher Organization (PTO).

Superintendent’s personal goals for this year are:

Increase Enrollment
Increase and Improve Student Achievement
Increase Parent Involvement
Renovate and Improve Facilities

In closing, let me reiterate the fact that your child’s educational success here at the School of Excellence in Education is of upmost importance. Therefore, where two or more are gathered on behalf of your child guarantees there will be success educationally for ALL stakeholders. Thank You!

Superintendent,
Dr. Kenneth Matthews
