Message From the Superintendent - March 21, 2025
Dear Aldine Community,
March is National Women’s History Month, a time to reflect on the impact of women. When I think of the women who shaped my life——my grandmother Bigmama, my teachers such as my 4th-grade teacher Ms. Bradford, my college counselor Ms. Allen, and Dr. Stacey Edmonson, Dean of the College of Education at Sam Houston State University——I am truly grateful for their contributions in molding me into the person I am today.
To inspire the young ladies in the district, it gave me great joy to host the Youth Empowerment Summit, which consisted of 150 sixth-grade girls——though I was more inspired by them! Our young ladies are destined for greatness, and it was such a privilege and honor to spend the morning with them.
At Aldine ISD, we believe in the importance of teaching our students about the pivotal role that women have played in shaping our society. Click here to see all the planned events celebrating women.
We have many things to celebrate as our students shine this spring semester, demonstrating their skills and talents. Several of our Aldine students earned creative recognition at the 2025 Regional Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. Emily Lucio was recognized with a Gold Key award during the regional contest and received the Harris County Department of Education Board of Trustees Incentive Art Award.
