Mission Statement

Whitehouse ISD Student Health Services Department strives to provide a safe and healthy environment where students can benefit from education and attain their maximum potential. Our school nurses collaborate with the Texas Department of State Health Services and NET Health Department to provide specialized health care while maintaining state-mandated health regulation compliance.   We believe the ability to learn at school directly relates to a student's health status. Therefore, we strive to strengthen and facilitate the educational process by providing services that contribute to a student's achievement and maintain optimal health. 

Philosophy

The school nurse, a health specialist, is a member of the total education team primarily concerned with the whole child and their optimal physical, mental, emotional, and social development.

The primary objective of school nursing is to strengthen the educational process of children and youth by assisting them in improving or adapting to their health status. In collaboration with other educators, the school nurse coordinates the school health program, contributing significantly to each student's full attainment of health and education potential.

Vision

Whitehouse ISD's vision is that all students are healthy, safe, and ready to learn.
