Texarkana Independent School District is proud to announce that Martha and Josh Morriss Mathematics & Engineering Elementary School has been recognized as an Educational Results Partnership (ERP) Honor Roll School for its high academic achievement and student success.

The ERP Honor Roll, now in its ninth year, is sponsored by the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence (CBEE) in collaboration with the Texas Business Leadership Council. This program identifies high-performing schools and districts that excel in improving student outcomes and preparing students with skills valued by employers. Only 12% of public schools in Texas received this honor.

Using student achievement data from 2019 through 2023, the ERP Honor Roll identifies schools that excel in moving students to grade-level proficiency and beyond. Morriss Elementary stands out for its consistent academic excellence and progress in closing achievement gaps.

The ERP Honor Roll is the only award of its kind given in partnership with state and local business leaders. Honor Roll schools are listed on the ERP Honor Roll website at www.edresults.org/honor-roll.

Lauren Pilgreen, Principal of Morriss Elementary, stated, “We are thankful for the hard work of our students and teachers. This recognition is a testament to the sustained focus on academic results and commitment to lifelong student success that our school and parent community have shown over the years.”
