Tomball ISD Celebrates School Board Recognition Month

TOMBALL - January is School Board Recognition Month, and Tomball ISD is honoring its Trustees for their dedication and commitment to the District and its students.

The theme this year is “leadership for tomorrow’s Texas,” which exemplifies the critical role our School Board Trustees have in shaping the future of our communities. These elected and invaluable community members help connect educational opportunities for our students and the state’s future workforce.

“This year’s theme emphasizes the critical role school board members play in shaping the future of our state,” said Dan Troxell, TASB executive director.  “School boards help connect education to opportunity and the theme, ‘Leadership for Tomorrow’s Texas’ showcases their investment in our state’s future workforce.” 

In addition to participating in regular school board meetings, trustees also serve as ambassadors and advocates for their school districts in their local communities as well as in Austin. Trustees work long hours attending meetings, collaborating with educators and community members, and making difficult decisions that affect the lives of all students and families. 

The Tomball ISD Board of Trustees joined by Superintendent Dr. Martha Salazar-Zamora has played a pivotal role in shaping Tomball ISD into the Destination District it is today. TISD continues to excel as the No. 1 Best School District in Harris County and the No. 1 District with the Best Teachers. The District has not only set the standard for high-financial ratings but exemplifies an innovative approach to high-level learning and student opportunities that prepare them for the future ahead.
