CCISD Board of Trustees named H-E-B Excellence in Education state finalist

CCISD’s board members began School Board Recognition Month by learning they are one of five state finalists in the prestigious H-E-B program that celebrates those working in public education.

The Outstanding School Board honor follows the April 2023 announcement that CCISD was named the statewide winner in the Large District Category.

“We know our board is exceptional, and it is wonderful to see their work recognized at this level,” said Superintendent Dr. Roland Hernandez. “School board members are volunteers, and our board demonstrates a high degree of dedication and unity as they work in support of our students and staff.”

The winner will be announced in the spring during H-E-B Excellence in Education’s annual awards dinner in San Antonio.

Created in 2002, the H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards are designed to honor outstanding public school professionals and to thank them for their dedication and commitment. Through this program, H-E-B seeks to pay tribute to those educators who go the extra mile each and every day to serve their students and their communities and who inspire others to do the same. Since its inception, nearly $13 million has been awarded to educators, schools, districts and early childhood facilities across the state.

CCISD employees return from their annual Winter Break on Monday, Jan. 8. Schools will welcome students and resume classes on Tuesday, Jan. 9.
