SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE

Dear Aldine Community, One of my favorite writers and authors, John Maxwell, said a leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way. That reminds me of our incredible coaches, the backbone of our athletic teams. Our coaches have provided guidance, shown dedication, and exemplified to our student-athletes what it means to cultivate teamwork. This spring, I am proud to celebrate our Aldine ISD student-athletes, who have showcased remarkable talent, resilience, and dedication, making our district proud both on and off the field. A special shout-out to the Aldine boys’ basketball team for completing an incredible turnaround, winning 25 games after going winless just a season ago. Their hard work and perseverance led them to a first-place tie in district play and an inspiring run to the third round of the state playoffs. Similarly, the Nimitz

girls basketball team made history by securing back-to-back 25-win seasons for the first time since 2007-2009. They finished second in the district, advanced to the third round of the state playoffs, and saw their leader, Coach Kendra Venzant, named 14-6A Coach of the Year. We are also incredibly proud of our Unified Sports program, where our Special Education athletes claimed the Area 4 Unified UIL Track and Field Championship, proving that teamwork and determination know no limits, also coached by coach Venzant. In soccer, MacArthur’s boy’s team dominated district play, finishing at the top and earning recognition as one of the top 100 teams in the state of Texas. Meanwhile, MacArthur baseball continues to impress, currently leading the district standings with a strong performance this season. We also recognize the passion our student-athletes have, not just for athletics but also for academics. In February, many of our student-athletes shined on National Signing Day, a momentous occasion. We had 18 students from MacArthur High School, Nimitz High School, Aldine High School, and Davis High School take the next steps in their academic and athletic journeys by signing letters of intent to colleges and universities. Our student-athletes compete at the highest levels and uphold the values of sportsmanship, teamwork, and academic excellence. Their achievements reflect the strength and spirit of Aldine ISD, and we couldn’t be prouder of their dedication and success. We are grateful for our coaches and staff, our families, and our fans who continue to be the driving force behind our athletes and fuel our success. Thank you for trusting us to serve you and your students. There is so much to be excited about in Aldine ISD. Together, we are making an #AldineImpact. With Aldine Pride, Dr. LaTonya M.
