Northpointe Intermediate Earns Great Expectations® Model School

Northpointe Intermediate in Tomball ISD has been recognized as a Great Expectations® Model School for the first time, marking a significant milestone for both the school and the district. This distinction, awarded to schools demonstrating commitment to fostering a culture of respect and academic excellence, reflects the dedication of NIS staff and students to implementing Great Expectations life principles over the past three years. Led by Principal Dr. Caitlin Cain, NIS joins 11 other Tomball ISD campuses in achieving Model School status, making Tomball ISD the leader nationwide with 12 such schools. Join us in celebrating this milestone!

Great Expectations is a professional development program focusing on creating harmony and excitement within school atmospheres to inspire academic excellence. Its core principles include high expectations, teacher responsibility, belief in the ability of all children to learn, building self-esteem, fostering mutual respect, and enhancing teacher knowledge and skill. The success of NIS and other GE Model Schools underscores the positive impact of this approach on student outcomes and the overall school culture.
