In Loving Memory

This winter break, the Energy community lost three well-loved young ladies. Today our Energy family gathered to remember Katie, Kate, and Vanessa. Students, teachers, and administrators shared loving memories about the students, the Pom Squad performed a dance dedicated to Vanessa (one of the founders), and everyone held candles for a moment of silence. All three of these young ladies had a profound impact on Energy. Katie was involved in Debate, Young Democrats, the Make It Work Club, and more. She worked to create a community that supports neurodiversity and made it her mission to make the world a better and kinder place. Katie was in her second year at Trinity University. Kate was involved in National Hispanic Society Debate and NHS, participated in a variety of summer programs like Rice University's Neuroscience Camp, and volunteered with several organizations. Kate was funny, hard-working, and loved animals. Kate was in her freshman year at Texas Lutheran University. Vanessa was a current senior at Energy. She was the founder of Pom Squad, had an internship at Marathon Oil, and was very involved with service projects through NHS, as well as many other activities. Vanessa is known for her bright and welcoming personality. Vanessa knew no strangers. All three of these young ladies will be missed by our community.

Revised Cell Phone Policy - Reminder

At Energy Institute, high quality learning experiences are a top priority. Energy will be implementing a new cell phone policy to optimize learning practices for all. Beginning January 9, 2023 students will be required to:

• Keep their cell phones/smart watches in their backpacks while in class.
• Keep their cell phones/smart watches in their backpacks while using the restroom.
• Use their cell phones/smart watches only during passing periods and/or lunch.
• Use an office or classroom phone during the day if the student needs to contact the parent.

Energy is asking for the parents' support by:

• Calling the school at 713-802-4620 if there is an emergent need to contact your child.
• Refrain from texting your child during class time or at least know you child will check their messages during passing periods and/or lunch.
• Understanding this decision was made with your child's best learning interest at heart.
• Remembering your child's cell phone is still close by in their backpack if there is a concern for you child's safety.

Purchase Your Energy Polo Today

Energy has three modes of dress. Energy students are required to wear a blue Energy polo for field trips, certain guest speakers, and special events. These are purchased through our PTO store and can be picked up by students at the PTO office (in the B building) on Wednesdays during lunch. Shirts are $25. As special field trips and events are starting up, it's important that anyone who does not already have one, gets one purchased. Visit the PTO store to purchase yours today. All students should have one purchased by the end of September. 

Sweat Shirts and Hoodies Available and Donations Being Accepted

Brrr..it’s cold! Does your child have an EIHS hoodie? Purchase hoodies in blue or black at the PTO Spirit Store. There are also crewneck sweatshirts available in the store.

Has your child grown? As you purchase new sweatshirts or polos, please consider donating your old school uniform items. We will accept items in good condition, with no stains, rips, or worn areas.
