Representatives from PBS News Hour film students at Mistral Early Childhood Center for an upcoming segment on refugee students.
Children who have fled their native countries due to war, drug-related violence, or other conflicts often need special types of support once they arrive in the United States.
That’s why two organizations came to HISD this week to learn more about how the district is assisting its refugee students. Representatives from Raise Your Hand Texas visited two campuses — Daily Elementary School and Westside High School — while producers from PBS News Hour spoke with leaders at Mistral Early Childhood Center (ECC) and Las Americas Newcomers School.
