From Our Community

Eduardo Bañales - Highland Park ES Parent

One of the best things about our girls attending Pflugerville ISD is the Dual Language program that reinforces their Spanish language. Having two young children in public school almost guarantees that their home language would be replaced with English. Having the option of continuing their Spanish development at school is such a benefit.

One of my favorite things about our school district is the cultural diversity we have. It is one of the most diverse school districts in Central Texas. For me, that creates an environment where we can truly learn from each other. Where our children are learning from people who may not look like them, may not be like them and have so many differences, but we find our commonalities.
