Sam Houston Elementary Dual Language Campus
named to Educational Results Partnership Honor RollCorsicana, TX — Corsicana Independent School District announced that Sam Houston Elementary Dual Language Campus has been named to the 2017 - 2018 Educational Results Partnership Honor Roll for its high achievement and student success. The program, sponsored by the Institute for Productivity in Education (IPE), is part of a national effort to identify higher-performing schools and districts that are improving student outcomes. Sam Houston is one of 729 public schools in Texas to be recognized.
The 2017 - 2018 Honor Roll is developed by Educational Results Partnership (ERP), a nonprofit organization that applies data science to help improve student outcomes and career readiness. ERP maintains the nation’s largest database on student achievement and utilizes this data to identify higher-performing schools and districts. Schools that receive the ERP Honor Roll distinction have demonstrated consistent high levels of student academic achievement, improvement in achievement levels over time, and a reduction in achievement gaps among student populations. For high schools, the ERP Honor Roll recognition also includes measures of college readiness.
“We are proud to be recognized as an ERP Honor Roll School by educational and business leaders in Texas,” said Dr. Diane Frost, superintendent for CISD. “Our teachers and administrators are committed to reaching higher levels of academic achievement and continuously improving our practices. We are pleased to see our hard work and dedication translating to positive outcomes for our students.”
“Educational success must be data-informed,” said Greg Jones, ERP board chairman. “These Honor Roll schools and districts are improving student achievement and we have the data to prove it. It’s critical that the business community support and promote educational success as today’s students are tomorrow’s workforce.”
In Texas, the ERP Honor Roll program is supported by numerous businesses and organizations, including the Texas Business Leadership Council, American Automobile Association (AAA) Texas, Macy’s, Wells Fargo, Chevron Corporation and Enterprise Holdings Foundation. -

“I am so honored to be coming back to Corsicana. I have maintained some close relationships to people here, so I feel like I’m coming home,” said Doring.
Doring and his wife, Evelyn, have two boys. The oldest, Brett, is a sophomore studying education at Texas A&M University. Bray is a senior at Van High School and is in the running to graduate as the VHS Valedictorian.
“Mr. Doring is a great fit for our Intermediate campus. He is skilled and approachable, and knows how to successfully motivate students and staff. Most importantly, he has a good understanding of our community, students and culture of the district,” said Dr. Diane Frost, superintendent of CISD. “We are fortunate to have him here.”
