• His enthusiasm is amazing
• He has been working hard to connect with his students and ensure that they know how much he cares about their successes inside and outside of the classroom.
• He has been a fabulous addition to the Math Department, a core area of study here at Manor Senior High School. Not only does he offer his expertise as a Mathematics Teacher, he was an integral part of a playoff run for the Football program, leading the football team to one of the best if not the best record I've seen since I started teaching at MISD 9 years ago. The students have raved about his coaching and teaching abilities. He inspires student athletes to not only excel on the football field, but also in the classroom. He always has great insights, works hard, and has an eagerness to improve as a teacher, pushing students beyond the status quo. It is my honor to vote in Michael George as February teacher of the month.
• His work ethic and love for the kids is one of a kind.
• Michael has 10 times as many twitter followers and I do. That's amazing.

• Ms. DeShay is the admin to the counselors but goes above and beyond her duties. She is the gatekeeper in the Counseling office keeping order and great customer service to all that enter the counseling office. She has covered classes when teachers are absent moves students from one location to another keeping 100 percent accountability. Her attention to detail has been critical in the identification of students trespassing as well.
• She is always willing to help when needed and a stern, yet great support when it comes to discipline.
• She always goes above and beyond what is required.

The mandatory tutoring required for students under House Bill 4545 states that students are to be in a group of no more than three students per one tutor. Manor ISD is asking you to provide permission for your student to receive tutoring in a group that is larger than three students. MISD is limited in providing sessions smaller than three students during the school day due to limited staffing. Please submit a separate survey for each scholar enrolled in grades 4-12.

La tutoría obligatoria requerida para los alumnos bajo el Proyecto de Ley 4545 de la Cámara de Representantes establece que los alumnos deben estar en un grupo de no más de tres alumnos por un tutor. Manor ISD le está pidiendo que proporcione permiso para que su alumno reciba tutoría en un grupo que es mayor que tres alumnos. MISD está limitado en proveer sesiones más pequeñas que tres estudiantes durante el día escolar debido al personal limitado. Por favor, envíe una encuesta separada para cada académico inscrito en los grados 4-12.

For the safety of all students, we have made a few changes to our restroom procedures. At MSHS, restroom doors will be locked during lunch, all transitions, and during the first and last ten minutes of class. Only one floor will have an open restroom per period, in which that particular restroom will be monitored by a team member. Thank you for your understanding. Thank you for all that you do!

Manor Senior High School is a NO BULLY ZONE!!! If you see or hear something...PLEASE...say something!!! #ItTakesAVillage

“I AM SOMEBODY!”

Inspired by Rita Pierson & Les Brown

I AM SOMEBODY!

I was somebody when I came

I will be a better somebody when I leave

I deserve the education that I get here

I have things to do...people to impress...and places to go

I know what I want in life and I will do whatever it takes to get it

I will never allow other people’s opinions of me to become my reality

I AM SOMEBODY!

I will "Make An I.M.P.A.C.T."

I will live my dream because...

I deserve to live my dream

I am powerful

I am “Manor ISD Strong”

I AM SOMEBODY!
