A Message from the ceo
KIPP Texas Families,
We did it! Our Little KIPPsters have completed their STAAR exams, and I couldn’t be prouder of them—and of our amazing Big KIPPsters who guided them through this important milestone. STAAR helps us see how much our students have grown and affirms the excellent, joyful learning happening in our classrooms.
Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week, and I want to express my deep gratitude to our 1,702 KIPP Texas teachers. With heart, purpose, and unwavering belief in our students, they create classrooms full of possibility.
Let’s keep showing love and support to our teachers, leaders, and Little KIPPsters as we close out the school year with continued learning and joyful celebrations. And a huge shoutout to the Class of 2025—I can’t wait to see you turn those tassels soon!
With gratitude,
Sehba Ali
KIPP Texas CEO
