Principal Reflects on Successful First Responders Day and Transitioning Leadership

During the PISD Board of Trustees Meeting on April 28, 2025, significant discussions highlighted the positive impact of recent school events and the transition of leadership at the pre-K campus.

One of the standout moments was the successful First Responders Day, which marked a first for the school. Students had the opportunity to engage with local emergency services, including the fire department and police, allowing them to explore vehicles and participate in hands-on activities. This event not only provided educational experiences but also fostered community connections, as students received treats and memorabilia from the first responders.

As the meeting progressed, the current principal expressed gratitude for their time at the school and introduced Angela Hallowell, who will take over as the new principal at the pre-K campus. This transition signals a new chapter for the school, with Hallowell eager to continue the positive momentum established by her predecessor.

Additionally, the board noted that they are in the midst of the Texas Rising Star assessment, which aims to enhance the quality of early childhood education. This assessment is crucial for ensuring that the school meets state standards and continues to provide high-quality learning experiences for its students.

The meeting underscored the importance of community involvement in education and the ongoing commitment to improving early childhood programs. As the school year wraps up, the focus remains on enriching student experiences and preparing for a successful transition in leadership.
