We celebrated several student groups at the board meeting, beginning with our Fall Sports Academic All-State recipients. To earn this distinction, students must maintain an overall GPA of 92 or higher while balancing the demands of athletics, academics, and leadership responsibilities. The Texas High School Coaches Association (THSCA) evaluates nominees based on GPA, class rank, and standardized test scores, ensuring this honor is reserved for truly dedicated student-athletes.

We also celebrated our UIL State Congressional Tournament qualifier and members of our UIL All-State Choir Team. These students represent the very best of what is happening at Whitehouse ISD, and we are proud to recognize their hard work, dedication, and outstanding accomplishments.

We reviewed a study conducted by an independent third party that examined routing and fleet optimization, along with a data analysis of how bell times affect student ridership. The study also identified potential cost-saving measures that would maintain service quality while making slight adjustments to school start and dismissal times. This was discussed as an informational item only, as the district continues to explore ways to improve the overall student experience.
