Hitchcock Independent School District 

January is School Board Recognition Month and Hitchcock ISD is joining other districts across the state to acknowledge their commitment to our communities and schools.

“Texans benefit every day from the dedicated energies and countless hours devoted by a group of more than 7,000 men and women across the state.  These public servants are elected to serve by local citizens and receive no compensation for their tireless efforts.  These men and women are the local school board members of Texas,” said Barbara Wilson, Interim Superintendent.

“These people unselfishly contribute their time and talents toward the advancement of public education,” Wilson said.  “The represent a continuing commitment to local citizen control and decision making in education.  Even though we are making a special effort during January to show appreciation to our school board members, we recognize their contributions reflect a year-round commitment on their part,” Wilson said.

School board members serving Hitchcock ISD are:  Josie M. Orr, president; Ricky Bond, vice president; Doris Scurry-Kennedy, secretary; Pat Turner; Shawn Kadlecek; Rochelle Randle; and Mark Morgan.
