Good Reason Houston exists to ensure that every child, in every neighborhood of Houston, has access to a world‑class public education and the opportunity to thrive in the Houston of tomorrow. From a child’s first day of Pre‑K to their first day on the job, we work to make sure every student is prepared for success in school, career, and life.

Anchored in a cradle‑to‑career vision, Good Reason Houston is driven by a bold North Star Goal: to double the rate of public school graduates earning a living wage by 2040, positioning economic mobility as the ultimate measure of student success. Achieving this goal requires collaboration across sectors, and Good Reason Houston serves as Houston’s regional education backbone, uniting public school systems, higher education institutions, employers, and civic leaders around a shared vision for student success.

Good Reason Houston builds awareness of, advocates for, and advises school systems on measures aimed to improve the quality of education available to all. Today the organization partners with 25 public school systems that collectively serve 700,000 students across 900 public schools in the Houston region. We seek to cultivate a shared regional vision for educational quality, to build the capacity for change required within districts and the greater Houston community, and to foster collective ownership to support student‑level results for kids across our city.

Houstonians for Great Public Schools is committed to transforming public education by ensuring students are the central focus of every decision. Houston GPS mobilizes voters, parents, and community leaders to drive exceptional outcomes in Houston public schools by supporting and electing leaders who champion student‑first policies. Through transparency, accountability, and clear data, we unite diverse voices around a shared commitment for meaningful and constant improvement in local school districts.
