Harvin Moore serves Houston as Trustee of the Houston Independent School District, having been elected to that position in a landslide 2003 election, and re-elected to second term in November 2005. He represents District VII, which includes River Oaks, the Galleria, Briargrove, Tanglewood, Briarmeadows and parts of Memorial, as well as Oak Forest, Lazybrook and Timbergrove, among others. Harvin is a long time educational policy leader who is committed to reforming Texas' largest school district, and he brings experience and fresh ideas to the Board. Head of finance and operations for a Houston aerospace company, Harvin provides a crucial business and finance perspective to HISD, and his persistence and energy have been invaluable over the past two years.

In addition to serving on the Board of Education, Harvin also tutors at HISD's River Oaks Elementary School each week, and serves on the Board of the HISD Foundation and Preschool for ALL. He has worked for years to improve the quality of education in HISD, through research, teaching, philanthropy, and board leadership of some of Houston's most effective public education organizations.

District VII is home to a large number of highly successful schools, and many of Houston's oldest neighborhoods. Most schools in District VII are filled to capacity due their high performing status. Extensive remodeling and new schools are now being built to accomodate this success and to provide our children the learning communities they need and deserve.
