What a night! ✨ On May 15, 2026, Manor ISD came together for our Evening of Excellence — a celebration of the incredible educators, staff, and community members who make our district extraordinary.

We honored our District Teachers of the Year, Campus Teachers of the Year, Teachers of Promise, Paraprofessionals of the Year, Auxiliary Staff of the Year, Visiting International Teachers, and our 2026 Retirees.

None of this would be possible without the incredible support of our presenting sponsors, A+ FCU and H-E-B. Thank you for investing in our teachers and students — not just for one evening, but every day of the year.

It's that time of year again! Please Amplify the Manor Schoolhouse Foundation with a donation to support Manor schools today! https://www.amplifyatx.org/organizations/manorschoolhousefoundation

The Manor Schoolhouse Foundation’s mission is to partner with the community to provide resources, maximize innovative practices and support teaching and learning for all students in the Manor Independent School.

In December, MSF distributed over 35k in Innovation Grants to teachers throughout Manor ISD. Over the next couple of months, we'll highlight those grant winners starting with Leson Gervais in the Manor High School Science Department and his project, Zooming into the Stars with New Lenses.

This Innovation Grant supports the purchase of new lenses to improve students’ ability to observe objects in the sky. Current equipment restricts the observable areas of the night sky available for study. By addressing this need, the project expands opportunities for careful observation and exploration that depend on clear, extended viewing. Stronger lenses support hands-on learning providing students more time to observe, question, and engage with what they are seeing.
