Working with underprivileged students has its ups and downs, but they come to truly depend on you. Some of the faculty can be amazing too.

Cons

The board has allowed the district to go haywire. Many principals lack leadership capabilities.

Pros

-Love working with the students in HISD -Most coworkers are amazing and passionate about providing access to post-secondary options to all students

Cons

-Instruction from higher up in HISD is often inconsistent, and they deliver expectations and news VERY last minute -There's a lot of disorganization due to being understaffed as everyone is being stretched thin -Isn't room to grow pay-wise in this role; I have to change roles in order to get a salary increase.
