This Week Marks the First Anniversary of Hurricane Harvey...

This week marks the first anniversary of Hurricane Harvey.

It was a time that seemed to demonstrate that the worst in weather could bring out the best in people.

The community of Huntsville ISD played an integral role in the service and care of those that suffered loss well beyond the role of "just a school," even though some of our families had suffered their own losses.

In fact, some of us are still recovering and adjusting to a "new normal" post-Harvey.

Today, we honor all those that helped, that cared for, and that needed care last year in Walker County and beyond.

The sun is out, the sky is blue, and we move forward as a Huntsville ISD family.

Our End of the Year Celebration- Thank you Huntsville ISD Staff & Faculty!

Once our students have finished for the year and before most of the staff begin their summer, Huntsville ISD hosts one last get together-

think of it as some quality "us" time to celebrate, hang out, enjoy some good breakfast and honor our award winners.

We send our retirees off with our deep gratitude, award staff and faculty for exceptional work, and recognize the service milestones of our folks.

We've already had a chance to share lots of photos (via Facebook) of the hanging out & camaraderie part of our morning, and here we share photos our individual honorees.

This year, we were able to catch everyone as the received their award- look through these photos and know that you are seeing employees that are the backbone of Huntsville Independent School District.
