Welcome back BOBCATS,
We are looking forward to another great year at HISD!
We will continue our theme
"Celebrate What’s Right With Hallsville ISD" for the 2009-10 school year.
We are proud to announce that we have four
"Exemplary" campuses in our District this year! This is the most
"Exemplary" campuses in any school district in East Texas and Region VII! Receiving
"Exemplary Ratings"
from the Texas Education Agency are
Hallsville Elementary,
Intermediate,
Middle School, and the
Junior High.
In a District 13-4A
TAKS Comparison for the 2008-2009 school year, we are proud to announce in grades 3-11,
Hallsville was ranked #1. The schools that represent District 13-4A are Pine Tree, Longview, Marshall,
Texas High, Mt Pleasant, Sulphur Springs, and Hallsville. We are officially the
TAKS District Champions
for the fourth consecutive year!
In a comparison of each individual grade level that administers TAKS tests, we are proud to announce that Hallsvil
schools
ranked #1 (District Champions) in grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. This is a
testimony of the
excellence of HISD students, staff, parents, and school board members.
"Teamwork Makes The Dream Work".
We are also proud to announce that our
Hallsville FFA Program was recognized as
"State Champions" in 2009!
The FFA Program won
First Place in Texas at the FFA National Chapter Awards Program.
I hope you enjoyed our first edition of our Bond Construction Update. It is important that we keep open
communication for all Bond Construction Projects. We are off to a great start at East Elementary with construction
well underway and this project came
under budget by $219,000 dollars. We will receive bids for North
Elementary on August 25, 2009 and the High School November 19, 2009. We anticipate both projects to come
under budget like East Elementary. Total costs for all three projects with alternate bidding is now 96.2 million
dollars. Please visit our Bond Web-site anytime at
http://www.hisdbond.info
or if you have personal questions call Gary
Lovelace (Director of Facility Planning) at 903 668-5990, Ext. 5762. These are exciting times for our students and
would not be possible without the
tremendous support from our community for
Hallsville ISD.
