Parent Involvement

Kaiser Elementary was opened in the fall of 1978. The original school was built on a 12-acre tract of land. Henry Kaiser was born on September 9, 1825 in Hesse, Germany. In 1856 he and his first wife Elizabeth joined the Brautigams and 13 other families in coming to Texas. Landing in Galveston, the families used smaller boats to come up Buffalo Bayou to Allen’s landing in Houston. While Henry was serving in the Civil War, his first wife died of the fever. In 1865 widower Henry Kaiser married widow Katharina Wunderlich Hassler. One of the Kaiser sons, Emil, and his family, moved to the Spring/Westfield area, and a school was located on their property. Mike McWhirter was the principal at the time of the school’s dedication and Dr. Donald Collins was the superintendent. Currently there are 776 students enrolled at Kaiser.

Kaiser has an active PTO. They are always seeking new volunteers. The Kaiser supports several campus programs and events including WATCH D.O.G.S., Muffins with Moms, and Donuts with Dads, hosting classroom parties, and Fifth Grade Appreciation.
