H-E-B Announces Award
Winners and Finalists
The Arlington ISD Board of Trustees has been selected as one of five outstanding
school boards in the 2015 H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards program. The
School Board Award highlights the importance of strong leadership at the board
level. The district will receive a $5,000 grant along with the award and is eligible
for up to $25,000 in additional prizes.
The district has been selected as a large school finalist for the Excellence in
Education District Award. Each large district finalist will receive a $5,000 prize,
with the winning large district receiving a $100,000 prize.
“We are honored to have been selected as one of the five outstanding school boards
and as a finalist for the large district award and to be recognized for our work to
ensure that all our students are successful,” Superintendent Dr. Marcelo Cavazos
said. “Our commitment to strong educational performance and the belief that
improvement is non-negotiable guide our work each and every day.”
To determine overall statewide winners, a panel of judges will visit the district and
Board, tour campuses and talk with administration, staff, parents and community
members. Winners will be announced at the H-E-B Excellence in Education
Awards ceremony on May 3, 2015 at the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Austin.
H-E-B launched the Excellence in Education Awards program in cooperation
with the Texas Association of School Administrators in 2002 as a positive way to
support public education in Texas. It has become the largest monetary program for
educators in the state, spotlighting best practices and celebrating the passion and
creativity of Texas educators. †
