Kudos to Anissa De Hoyos, a 2026 Marshall HS graduate and the only recipient of the Billie Michal Leadership Award from Texas. Recipients received an all-expenses-paid trip to New Orleans to represent their state at the 2026 American Spirit Awards. This prestigious national award recognizes one student from each state who embodies the American spirit through leadership, teamwork, creativity, tolerance, and perseverance. Congrats, Anissa - we are proud of you!

The countdown to a new school year is on! Students enrolled in the new NISD Virtual Academy, along with their parents, met for an orientation session this evening at Taft HS. If you are enrolled in the Virtual Academy for 2026-27 and missed this orientation, there’s one more chance tomorrow night, June 17, at Brandeis HS starting at 6:30 PM. The sessions are for those enrolled only. If you might still be interested in enrolling, contact [email protected]. 

The calendar may say summer, but the first day of school isn't that far away. NISD is holding a School Supply Donation Drop-off day to help those who need a little helping hand. Mark your calendar to drop off school supplies and backpacks on July 22 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Northside Activity Center (7001 Culebra Road). Let's make the 2026-27 school year the best ever and help all our students grow in confidence, curiosity, and capability!

Congrats to Sherry Mireles, Principal at Rawlinson MS, on receiving this year’s NISD Distinguished Library Service Award! As a true champion for literacy, Principal Mireles views the library as the "heart of the school"—and she ensures it beats strong every single day. Collaborating closely with her campus librarian, she has transformed their 20-year-old library into a modern, tech-rich hub while keeping it fully open and accessible to students throughout the day. From launching staff book clubs to fostering student innovations like podcasting and AI learning, Mireles continuously champions the library as a vital space for learning and inspiration. 🏆🏅
