@vypetexas @vype.houston

I hope this letter reaches you all in good health and spirits. I am the Executive Director of Athletics here in Aldine ISD. I am extremely happy and proud to represent this great school district. I will continue to do my best to represent you and Aldine ISD in a first class manner. I want to say thank you to our School Board and Superintendent Dr. Goffney for their hard work and approval of the new stadium. W.W. Thorne opened in 1979 and this year would have made 43 years of service. Thorne Stadium has hosted some great teams, including the 1990 5A State and National Champions, Aldine Mustangs. We will continue to be proud of Thorne Stadium and the years it served our Aldine community. The new complex will be ready in 2024. I want to thank our neighbors in Spring ISD for making George Stadium available to us this football season so our varsity football teams have a stadium to compete in. I am looking forward to an exciting year of competition. All of the teams have worked hard during the offseason and are prepared for competition. We will approach this year focusing on our Three Stripe goals. Student Achievement: High percentage of scholarships. I want you to be involved with all the affiliated programs within Aldine ISD. You have an open invitation to stop by our office to meet the staff and see why we are suited to provide your child with the very best opportunities. Again, I am proud and honored to be associated with the great students, teachers, coaches, sponsors and boosters of Aldine ISD. We will continue to fulfill our mission and vision through the vehicle of Athletics. Dre’ Thompson Dre’ Thompson Executive Director of Athletics Aldine ISD Mission Driven Leadership: Continuing to hire and build leaders. School Culture: Excitement in the buildings and on the playing fields.
