Klein ISD Named District of Distinction for 6th Year in a Row by the TAEA

Klein, Texas—For the sixth year in a row, Klein ISD has been named a Texas Art Education Association (TAEA) District of Distinction, placing Klein ISD in the top 1.3 percent of all visual arts programs in Texas.

More than 1,200 districts were eligible for the 2024 award, and only 94 districts met the high standard and received the outstanding honor.

“I am incredibly proud of our talented students and educators who continue to uphold our tradition of excellence in the Arts,” Klein ISD Superintendent Dr. Jenny McGown said. “Congratulations to our top-notch Fine Arts department and Visual Arts programs on earning yet another outstanding accolade!”

Only 16 districts have been recognized each year in the six years the TAEA has honored Texas school districts with this outstanding honor. 

"To say it is incredible to be ranked in the Top 1.3 percent of Visual Art Departments in Texas would be an understatement,” Fine Arts Coordinator Leah McWhorter said. “This is a testament to the ongoing commitment of our Klein ISD visual arts teachers to their students, their programs, and the district.”

The TAEA considered field experiences, community service, and community exhibitions as part of the award's rigorous selection process.

Congratulations to the entire Klein ISD Arts Department for your continued success. Your Klein Family is proud of all your hard work!
