The Crowley ISD Board of Trustees welcomed the 2024-25 student trustees to the board meeting. These scholars bring student voice and perspective to the school board and represent students from Crowley High School, North Crowley High School and Crowley Collegiate Academy.

Students are selected by a campus administrator's recommendation, based off of feedback from campus teachers and staff. Once a trustee is selected, that trustee remains in place through graduation.

In addition to serving at two school board meetings, student trustees are responsible for gathering feedback from fellow students and bringing any celebrations, upcoming events, considerations and improvements to the attention of district leadership and the school board.

The 2024-25 student trustees include:

Crowley High School

Ka'Davion Carroll, 11th grade

Nevaeh Hamilton-Roberts, 12th grade

Vincent James, 11th grade
Zoe Johnson, 11th grade

Student leaders at Crowley High School, North Crowley High School and Crowley Collegiate Academy are cultivating a life-long commitment to voting and civic engagement through Student Voter Empowerment Clubs (SVEC).

SVEC, in partnership with March to the Polls, establishes and sponsors non-partisan dynamic student-led civic engagement clubs in high schools through in-class voter education and registration, community outreach and more.

A presentation at the Oct. 10 board meeting showed that 22% of the total senior class at CHS and NHCS registered to vote with SVEC and that there was a more than 40% increase in voter knowledge after SVEC's in-class voter education program.

SVEC members from CHS, NCHS and CCA will be participating in a March to the Polls event on
Friday, Oct. 25 from Rosenthal Park to the Southwest Subcourthouse in Fort Worth.

High school students may have the possibility to select new, innovative courses next school year as part of a proposal from Crowley ISD's Office of Academic Excellence.

• Principles of Community Services, 9th grade
• Social and Community Services, 11th-12th grade
• Legal Research and Writing, 11th-12th grade
• Team Sport Officiating, 9th-12th grade

All four of these potential courses are state-approved and will be brought back to the CISD Board in November for consideration and possible action.

Bond 2023 projects are moving forward. Watch the video above to see what the new Crowley High School will look like when it's completed in the fall of 2027.

Bond 2023 projects continue to move forward and take shape.

The school board approved the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the final package related to the construction of the new Crowley High School.

The GMP for this final package is $332,501,168 and is for the main building as well as athletic facilities and fields.

The first package was for demolition and grading, while package two was for the Fine Arts dance competition gym and HVAC central plant.

The new CHS is scheduled to open in fall of 2027.

ELEMENTARY NO. 18

In other bond related items, trustees also approved Steele and Freeman/Post L Group joint venture as the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for Elementary School No. 18, which will be located on the north end of the same property the Bill R. Johnson CTE Center is located.

The new school will be a prototype of S.H. Crowley Elementary and is scheduled to open in August 2027.

INDOOR/OUTDOOR TRACK

Trustees also approved a GMP of $15,626,755 for the Indoor/Outdoor Track early release package of the pre-engineered metal building that will house the indoor track.

Releasing the package early helps with long lead times on materials.
