SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE

Dear Aldine Community, As winter unfolds, I am proud to celebrate the remarkable achievements of our Aldine ISD student-athletes and the dedicated coaches who guide them. Athletics in Aldine is about more than winning games. It’s about building character, fostering perseverance, and cultivating teamwork. These lessons shape champions both on and off the field. Our athletes have truly embodied the spirit of Aldine this school year. They have inspired us all, from the electric Friday night lights at the newly renovated W.W. Thorne Stadium to the outstanding performances of our cross-country runners, volleyball teams, and other fall sports.

President

DR. KIMBERLEY BOOKER

A special shoutout to the MacArthur boys’ cross-country team for clinching their 16th consecutive district title and the MacArthur girls’ team for securing their third straight district title—an incredible achievement! We are also immensely grateful to the Houston Texans for their generous $20,000 contribution to the MacArthur football program. Your support means the world to our student-athletes. As we look ahead to next semester, our community is eager to continue supporting these exceptional students. With the fall season behind us for several team sports, I am excited to transition into the energy of spring athletics. I look forward to cheering on our basketball, soccer, and swimming teams as they bring their passion and determination to the courts, fields, and pools. Our student-athletes consistently demonstrate grit and excellence. They also serve as living examples of our Profile of a Graduate, demonstrating the importance of reflecting, learning, navigating, leading, and committing to lifelong growth. We also recognize the many ways athletics connects us to our greater purpose. Sports have a unique power to unite us. At Aldine ISD, we foster an environment where every student can succeed — whether in the classroom, on the field, or in life. To our athletes, keep striving to grow stronger and dream bigger. We are grateful to our coaches and staff for your unwavering support and mentorship. Your dedication is the driving force behind our athletes’ success. And to our families and fans, your encouragement fuels our success. As you read this issue, take pride in all the great things happening in Aldine ISD. Together, we are making an #AldineImpact. Let’s make this spring season one to remember! With Aldine Pride, Dr. LaTonya M. Goffney Dr. LaTonya M. Goffney Superintendent of Schools
