Hitchcock ISD

🎄🎁 This holiday season, the Hitchcock Lady Bulldogs, alongside our amazing community partners, had the privilege of adopting a family for Christmas. It’s truly an honor to give back to the community that supports us every single day. We are more than just a team of young women—we are a family, united by the values of kindness, gratitude, and service. Being able to spread joy and make a difference in the lives of others is a reminder of what this season is all about. A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible. Together, we are building a stronger, more compassionate community. 🐾 #LadyBulldogsGiveBack #HitchcockPride #MoreThanJustAGame

🚨 Health Update: Tuberculosis Case at Hitchcock High School 🚨 We understand concerns regarding the recent health situation at Hitchcock High School. A letter has been sent to parents and staff with detailed information about the case and the steps being taken to prioritize the safety of our students and staff. We want to assure you that the delay in notifying parents was intentional to allow the Galveston County Health District time to contact and test individuals identified as having direct exposure. This approach ensures accurate and timely communication with those most affected. For more information or if you have questions, please check your email for the letter or contact Nurse Peterson at [email protected] or the Galveston County Health District at (409) 938-2354.

🎉 Honoring Mrs. Linda Leuschen on Her Retirement After 32 years in education administration, including 13 unforgettable years in Hitchcock ISD, Mrs. Linda Leuschen is retiring—and to say she will be missed is an understatement. 💙 From HR to serving as the superintendent's secretary and the board's secretary, Mrs. Linda has been the heartbeat of our district. She’s been like a mom to all of us—there to celebrate our wins, guide us through challenges, and support us in times of loss. Her ability to stay one step ahead, no matter the situation, has been unmatched, and her kindness has touched every corner of HISD. Yesterday, Superintendent Travis W. Edwards presented Mrs. Linda with a World Changers Certificate and the Superintendent’s Challenge Coin, a small token of appreciation for the profound impact she’s made. He truly meant it when he said he will miss her—because she’s not just a colleague, but a friend to us all. We hope she and Michelle enjoy every moment of retirement, filled with bingo, casino trips, and plenty of time to relax. Thank you, Mrs. Linda, for being the steady, compassionate presence we all needed. Please join us in wishing her the very best in this next chapter of her life! 🐾 #WhatStartsHereCanChangeTheWorld #WorldChanger #BulldogPride

🎉 A Heartfelt Farewell to Mrs. Carol Haas! 🎄 Today, we celebrate the incredible career of Mrs. Carol Haas, affectionately known as "Christmas Carol" at Stewart Elementary. With 28 years of dedication to education, including the past 3 years spent making a difference in our district, Mrs. Haas has truly been a beacon of light and positivity. Her impact on our Life Skills classroom has been immeasurable, bringing joy, compassion, and unwavering support to her students and colleagues alike. Yesterday, Superintendent Travis W. Edwards had the honor of presenting Mrs. Haas with a World Changers Certificate and the Superintendent’s Challenge Coin as a token of our deepest gratitude for her service. As Mr. Edwards hugged her goodbye, we couldn’t help but hope this isn’t the last time we see the magic she brings to the classroom. Mrs. Haas, your legacy as a true World Changer will live on in the hearts of all those whose lives you’ve touched. Please join us in wishing her a joyful and well-deserved retirement! 💙🐾 #WhatStartsHereCanChangeTheWorld #WorldChanger #BulldogPride
