From mechanical engineering to 22 years of transforming lives in the classroom, Colleen Henry is a total force of nature.

We are so beyond proud to celebrate her as the recipient of the Hello World 2026 Catalyst for Change Award! As a Computer Science teacher at KIPP Austin Academy of Arts & Letters, Colleen was honored for her relentless commitment to opening doors and building true confidence in her students.

From founding our first Girls Who Code chapter to championing CS for every student, her impact is the definition of life-changing. Just look at Nathalia, who started in Colleen's class doubting her own abilities and is now headed to Boston University for computer engineering. This is what happens when a teacher refuses to let a student give up on themselves. Colleen, thank you for making tech and AI literacy a "right now" reality for our KIPPsters.

Join us in congratulating our very own Colleen Henry! 🎓💻✨

The future of AI isn’t coming: it’s already being built by our students.

KIPP Texas is proud to partner with Hello World across 22 of our schools in Austin, Houston, and Dallas, including our Transformation Schools. We recently gathered at Capital Factory in downtown Austin for Demo Day, where 15 of our student innovators took the stage to represent the network.

Coming from KIPP Austin Collegiate, KIPP Austin Academy of Arts & Letters, and KIPP Legacy Prep, these students showcased original projects in Python, Data Science, AI, and Virtual Reality. They did more than just present code; they demonstrated a deep mastery of the "why" behind the "how."

Our students aren't just preparing for the AI era, they are actively shaping it as builders and problem-solvers. Demo Day was a powerful reminder of what the future of learning looks like and why this work is so vital for the KIPP Austin and KIPP Houston regions.

Home is where your story is known. 🏠❤

From the sweet taste of "toot" berries in Afghanistan to the hallways of KIPP Somos, the beauty of memory allows us to carry our roots wherever we go. 🌏

The beauty of memory is that it doesn’t just look backward; it helps us build a future where we all belong. This APIDA Heritage Month, we’re celebrating how our stories connect us. For Moh, a 10th-grader at KIPP Texas, "home" was found in the simple power of acceptance.

Our collective memories are the foundation of the community we’ve built together. To our Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi American families: your stories are our strength.

Happy Operations Appreciation Week! 🌟

There’s no better way to celebrate May 11–15 than by announcing the winners of the 10th Annual Heart and SOL (School Operations Leader) Awards.

This year, the KIPP Foundation focused on a vital mission: Excellence in Reducing Chronic Absenteeism. Out of 16 incredible leaders honored nationwide for keeping students in class and engaged, we are bursting with pride to share that three are KIPP Texas’ very own! 🏆

A massive shout-out to our local winners:

Daisy Martinez, KIPP Austin Obras

Sabrina Goodman, KIPP Prime College Preparatory

Davola Johnson, KIPP NEXUS Middle School

Whether they are maintaining impressively low absenteeism or driving massive year-over-year growth, these individuals are the heartbeat of our campuses.

To all our operations teams: Thank you for the endless hard work you do behind the scenes. You truly are the "Heart and SOL" of KIPP! 💙✨

🏆 THE THREE-PEAT IS OFFICIAL! 🏆

History was made, and the pride we feel is hard to put into words! The KIPP Austin Collegiate Lady Cardinals have officially secured their third consecutive Soccer State Championship! ⚽️✨

In a dominant 4-0 performance at Prairie View A&M University, our girls showed the state what KIPP Texas grit looks like. Facing off against the Houston Regional Champions (Yes Prep Southwest), the Lady Cardinals left no doubt about who owns the throne.

This "three-peat" is a testament to the culture of excellence and the relentless hustle these young women bring to the campus every single day. From our amazing coach to our seasoned seniors finishing their journey on top, and our rising freshmen making their mark, the future of Lady Cardinal soccer is bright!
Join us in celebrating these champions in the comments! 👇
