Superintendent's Newsletter

It’s hard to believe we’ve begun the second six weeks of school. It feels like just yesterday we were welcoming everyone back for a new school year, and now here we are making our way into October. As we move into these next six weeks, I want to emphasize how important it is that you’re getting enough sleep, eating healthy and thinking about your own goals for the year. I’m confident that together, we can make this a successful school year for our students.

I’d like to recognize Harlandale and McCollum High School’s mariachi groups for being featured on Univision during a special segment on 16 de septiembre! I am incredibly proud of our students for showcasing their talents and representing our district so well. Their performances were fantastic, and I am certain they made Harlandale ISD shine across San Antonio. Thank you Univision for featuring our mariachi groups and for highlighting the importance of our Hispanic culture on such a large platform. Be sure to check out their performance below!

Join us as we come together and celebrate what makes our community special at our Neighbors Together event on Tuesday, Oct. 3 at Harlandale Memorial Stadium from 5-7 pm. During the event, you can enjoy student performances, free food, valuable resources from community members, and a special surprise for our kids. Neighbors Together is a great opportunity to get to know our Harlandale Police Department, in addition to various free resources available in our community. This event is open to all, so bring your family and friends. We can't wait to see you there.

There’s a lot to be proud of at Harlandale ISD. Our students are working hard in their classes, and our teachers are doing a fantastic job of delivering engaging instruction. I want to emphasize how grateful we are for your continued support of our great District. We're committed to providing our students with the best education possible, and we couldn't do it without you. Thank you for being a part of the Harlandale Legacy.
