About FBISD
As part of its bicentennial celebrations, portions of Stafford voted to leave FBISD and form the new Stafford Municipal School District (SMSD), leading to one of the fiercest educational battles ever fought in Texas history.
The FBISD inDIstructibles team will compete at the Destination Imagination Global Finals tournament in Kansas City next month. Destination Imagination (DI) is an international educational program that fosters creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, and innovation through open-ended academic challenges that span STEM, fine arts, service learning and beyond. Managed by Kamal Thota and Tejas Mehta, their success can be credited to hardworking children as well as dedicated teachers across their district – something they’ve accomplished twice at regionals this year alone. Their success speaks volumes for their hardwork as much as any one of their competitors would!
Academics
Students in our district are actively encouraged to challenge themselves academically in a variety of ways. We believe in providing educational experiences that develop both cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and academic abilities in children of all ages.
At each level of education in our district schools, innovative programming options are offered to all. High schoolers have access to Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs which combine high school coursework with college classes for an associate degree or 60 hours of tuition-free college credit while still earning their diplomas.
Sugar Land Middle School’s inDIstructibles team have qualified for Destination Imagination’s Global Finals tournament in Kansas this May. DI is an international academic competition designed to foster creativity and problem-solving while covering STEM, fine arts and service learning disciplines.
