HISD Honors Distinguished Alumni Class of 2026
Hallsville High School proudly celebrated the Distinguished Alumni Class of 2026 with a special luncheon held Friday, September 11, recognizing eight graduates whose accomplishments and contributions continue to represent the very best of Bobcat Nation.
The luncheon provided an opportunity to honor each inductee and celebrate the lasting impact they have made through their careers, communities, and service to others.
Hallsville ISD’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) students also played an important role in making the celebration special. Culinary students prepared and served the meal for the honorees and guests, while CTE students provided the floral arrangements for the event.
Following the luncheon, the Distinguished Alumni continued their Homecoming Day celebration by attending the Hallsville High School pep rally. The day culminated Friday evening when the inductees were recognized at halftime of the Homecoming football game.
