Humble ISD trustees approved attendance zone changes for Summerwood and Centennial elemen- tary schools during the May 6 board meeting. Why now? The rezoning efforts are coming as the district completes an expansion project for Summerwood Elementary, included in HISD’s 2022 bond. HISD Deputy Superintendent Terry Perkins said because six new classrooms will be ready at Summerwood Elementary by the start of the 2025- 26 school year, the district is moving forward with the zoning changes a year earlier than originally planned for kindergarten students and students moving in from outside the district. “With another incoming group of kindergartners next year ... it would push core classes outside the main building of Centennial and into temporary
buildings,” Perkins said. What’s changing?

All incoming kindergarten students and all new students who move into Sections 55B and 55F— which are located in the southeastern portion of the Summerwood neighborhood—will be rezoned from Centennial Elementary to Summerwood Elementary beginning in the 2025-26 school year. Additionally, the new attendance zones will be applied to remaining students in all grade levels at the campuses beginning in the 2026-27 school year. Officials noted students who are already attending Centennial Elementary this year can remain at the campus next year. However, rezoned students who would like to remain at Centennial Elementary beyond the 2025-26 school year will be required to go through the transfer process.
