In their own words

“Prosper ISD is the guardian of dreams for students, staff, parents and the community,” says Drew Watkins, superintendent.

About the culture

Prosper pays double that of other districts into the state health insurance plan and matches employee contributions into a 403(b) plan up to $1,200 a year.

Employees say

"[Superintendent] Dr. [Drew] Watkins makes sure this district still has a small-town feel . Prosper ISD wants the student to be well-rounded and doesn't focus solely on STAAR to measure success."

"I am able to do the best work of my 18-year career. I am doing positive work for kids, and any barriers to doing my job are quickly eliminated by my administration. My administrators at the school and district level are interested in what is best for our students above all else."

"Even on the hardest days, I still feel like I get to do this job instead of have to do it."
