Sheldon Independent School District About Sheldon ISD
Sheldon Independent School District (ISD) is a small Region IV school
district located in Harris County, TX near the city of Houston. The
school system has one high school, one middle school, four elementary
schools, and one early childhood academy. Two of Sheldon ISD’s campuses,
Sheldon Sixth Grade Campus and Monahan Elementary, have received a
“recognized” rating from the state.
In their mission statement, Sheldon ISD administrators state that they
hope to partner with the community to provide the best possible
education that will “inspire lifelong learning for all students” so that
they can “contribute as productive citizens in a global society.”
Because they care so much about achieving this vision, Sheldon ISD has
established a number of programs designed to help students succeed. One
important tool, the Sheldon ISD Education Foundation, partners with the
community to help the school district raise the additional funds it
needs to provide students with a quality education. The community also
participates in a “walking for dropouts” event, which equips volunteers
to visit the homes of students who have dropped out of school before the
2008-2009 school year and to encourage them to complete their
educations. Such organizations illustrate both the great care that
Sheldon ISD has for its students and the broad community support it
enjoys.

Alternative Certification
Programs
If you are interested in teaching in Sheldon ISD or any other school
district in the state of Texas but do not have a teaching certificate, a
number of options are available to help you achieve your dream.
Alternative Certification Programs help those who have a bachelor’s
degree to obtain a teaching license without having to return to school
for certification. One such program is the Web-Centric Alternative
Certification Program (WCACP), an online program that helps future
teachers in the state of Texas earn their teaching certificates from the
comfort and convenience of home.
WCACP serves as the academic component of the certification process, and
it prepares students for the mandatory one-year teaching internship that
they must complete as the final step. Because of the program’s
flexibility, those who choose to do so can complete the online classes
concurrently with their internships. The program is designed to help
students work at their own pace.
If you are interested in enrolling in the WCACP, you must have a
bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution and a minimum 2.5 G.P.A.
