The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has appointed a new superintendent to lead Houston Independent School District (ISD) following the agency’s takeover of the state’s largest district.

Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath announced on June 1 that Mike Miles would take the helm of the district, serving nearly 190,000 students across 274 schools. Miles replaces Superintendent Millard House II, who was hired in 2021 to improve student performance across the district.
