Department of Innovation

The Department of Innovation serves to meet the needs of the Judson community by keeping a student-centered mission to:  

• expand the number of inventive, imaginative school options  
• raise the percentage of students in high-quality, best-fit campuses, and  
• increase the academic achievement of all students  

to ensure Judson ISD is a premier, destination school district that welcomes all students in the greater-San Antonio area.

Judson is a member of TEA’s System of Great Schools (SGS) Network and is implementing its four-lever strategy:   

• analyze school performance,   
• expand great options, 
• improve access to options, and
• create new organizational structures.
