School Board Recaps - August 2024

BOND Update
Henrietta Families and Staff,
What an incredible start to the school year! I have been so excited to visit our campuses and see all the great things happening in our classrooms. Thank you for such a wonderful beginning to 2024-25.
And a big thank you to our voters in Henrietta ISD for approving the first bond election in HISD in more than 15 years! I am thrilled to be able to share some updates with you on the projects approved by voters. I want to ensure we have consistent communication about how your tax dollars are at work to improve our school district, and expand the opportunities for our students.
Bond Sale
A couple of weeks ago, Bearcat Ambassadors from the high school had a unique opportunity to witness the sale of our voter-approved bonds. You can read more about that on the HISD website.
Completed Projects - Stadium Turf and Lights
Believe it or not, but two projects are already complete, and we’ve started work on a third! If you drove by the stadium in July, you might have noticed the field being prepared for new turf.
That project has been completed, and our football players are already taking snaps on the new turf! It looks amazing, but most importantly it meets the safety standards for turf fields, and that will help keep our athletes safe when they are representing HISD on the gridiron!
The other completed project isn’t as easy to see as the turf, but it will make seeing the turf a lot easier during the season! New lights have been installed at the stadium, and I can’t wait for our first season under these NEW Friday Night Lights!
Current Projects - Stadium Track
You may be able to see there is no track around the football field right now, but that will soon change. The track is being resurfaced and the additional repairs needed will start on Monday, September 9th. It is going to be a lot of fun to see our track athletes running to victory on the new surface.
Upcoming Project - New High School
As you can imagine, the final bond project will take the longest to complete, but the work has already begun! There will be many steps along the way before the new Henrietta High School is complete. The design for the school is happening right now, which is really exciting! I will be able to share drawings of the campus very soon. Construction is scheduled to begin this spring, after the planning and land preparation is complete this fall.
I cannot tell you how excited I am about these projects and the impact they will have on our students, staff, and community!
