For the month of November, Kay Griffith, of Ingleside High School was selected for the Family Matters Award! She was recognized during our School Board Meeting, where she was celebrated for her outstanding efforts. She was also awarded $100 from the Ingleside ISD Education Foundation. Below is an excerpt from the nomination that was submitted on her behalf. "Where would IHS be without Ms. Kay??? Even before she steps onto campus each day, she is already working and we are all thankful for that! She works tirelessly to ensure that our students, staff, parents, and community feel loved and supported every day. She takes hundreds of phone calls and answers thousands of questions before lunch and yet everyone is still greeted with "hey sugar." Everyone knows that she runs IHS as evidenced by the chaos that ensues on days she is out. Lol. She has been a staple at IHS for over 20 years and the impact she has had, and continues to have can be seen throughout the community and beyond. The unwavering love that the school and community have for Ms. Kay is seen in that everywhere she goes everyone knows her and she is greeted with a loving "Hi, Ms. Kay." We encourage you that if you witness an employee who goes above and beyond and demonstrates actions or qualities that are worthy of celebrating, to tell their story and help us recognize them! The nomination form is located on the district website at www.inglesideisd.org ,under the 'About Us' section of the Menu. Congratulations, Mrs. Kay! We're so happy you're a part of the Family at IISD.

Update at 1:45 PM- An 'all clear' has been given by law enforcement, the secure status has been lifted at LTMS and IHS. Safety is a top priority for Ingleside ISD. In an abundance of caution, please know that Leon Taylor Middle School and Ingleside High School are currently in a secure status due to law enforcement activity in a neighborhood near the campuses. Once an 'all clear' is given by law enforcement, normal activity will resume. 

Today, Ingleside ISD takes a moment to honor the courage, dedication, and sacrifices of all veterans. To those who have served and to those who continue to serve, thank you for your commitment to our country and to protecting the freedoms we cherish. At Ingleside ISD, we’re grateful for the veterans in our community, including our own staff, families, and friends who have worn the uniform. You are an inspiration to us all, and we are proud to recognize your service. Let’s show our gratitude today and every day!

For the month of October, Amanda Hays, of Ingleside Primary School was selected for the Family Matters Award! She was recognized during our School Board Meeting, where she was celebrated for her outstanding efforts. She was also awarded $100 from the Ingleside ISD Education Foundation. Below is an excerpt from the nomination that was submitted on her behalf. "Mrs. Hays is an absolutely outstanding teacher, and someone whom I’ve always found to consistently exemplify the characteristics she expects from her students. She is the kind of educator who stays in the hearts of her students long after they’ve “graduated” from her class … and I should know, because of our six children half of them have had the pleasure of having her as a teacher and they talk about her all the time, even today (one of them is now in high school)! Her strategic approach to high-level academic engagement and her open arms for her children is not a job to her … it’s clearly a lifestyle she’s embraced; a calling she has answered. A household name at our dinner table, and a name seated on our hearts. We LOVE Mrs. Hays and are exceedingly blessed to have her, and beautiful souls like her in IISD, caring for our children!" We encourage you that if you witness an employee who goes above and beyond and demonstrates actions or qualities that are worthy of celebrating, to tell their story and help us recognize them! The nomination form is located on the district website at www.inglesideisd.org ,under the 'About Us' section of the Menu. Congratulations, Mrs. Hays! We're so happy you're a part of the Family at IISD.
