Texas is home to one of the nation’s largest Latino communities and one of the places where reimagining education matters most. Alongside local educators, leaders, and families, we’re building a system where Latino students, parents, and families can thrive.
Latino communities sit at the center of Texas’s future. Latino workers are a growing share of the workforce, Latino entrepreneurs are driving economic growth, and Latino voters are reshaping the civic landscape. The success of Latino students will play a decisive role in the strength of Texas’s economy and democracy in the decades ahead.

This is not a niche issue. When the system fails these students, it threatens Texas’s workforce, economy, and democracy.
In response to the growing needs of Houston-area educators, students, and families since the 2020 pandemic, Latinos for Education launched the Citywide Coalition on Education alongside Good Reason Houston, Leadership for Educational Equity, EdTrust, One Houston, and the Parent Teacher Collaborative. The coalition engages with and understands what matters most to students and families in the education system.
