Aldine Connection
A Newsletter for the Staff and Community of Aldine ISD
Message From the Superintendent - February 21, 2025
Dear Aldine ISD Community,
It was great to see everyone back at work and in our schools this week. I hope everyone had a restful and rejuvenating spring intersession. As we step into the second half of our semester, I want to celebrate the remarkable achievements of our students and staff.
Celebrating Excellence
Our academic achievements continue to shine. Five Aldine ISD schools earned top spots in Children at Risk’s 2023-2024 Houston rankings. This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to academic excellence and student success. Furthermore, MacArthur High School’s Academic Decathlon team is heading to the state competition for the first time in 10 years — an outstanding accomplishment!
We are incredibly proud of our student-athletes who participated in National Signing Day, committing to continue their education and athletic careers at the next level. Congratulations to Aldine High School football athlete Samuel Saravia for being named a Houston Touchdown Club Scholar-Athlete Award finalist! This is such an honor! Five high schools also made it to regionals in their respective sports; Aldine High School boys’ basketball earned the Bi-District Champion Title. What an accomplishment for our talented student-athletes and dedicated coaches.
Black History Month
We are nearing the end of Black History Month, and we have enjoyed hearing students sing and perform and celebrating culture in our buildings and campuses. I loved seeing our families, students, and staff at our inaugural Black Excellence Expo at the M.O. Campbell Educational Center before our spring intercession. It was amazing to see our talented students’ artwork and outstanding performances. Thank you to everyone who organized and our community for supporting our students.
