Bridge City ISD Winter-Spring 2023-24

PREGAME

It is an honor to be Superintendent of Schools in a school district where academic excellence is expected and extracurricular programs flourish, while students are held accountable and given the opportunity to be well-educated. This year is my 24th year in education and my fourth school year in Bridge City ISD. I am excited about the opportunities we will have over the next several years to build programs and facilities to meet the growth of our district and the needs of our students.

Bridge City ISD is an innovative educational system within a family-oriented community with a small town atmosphere. As a school district, we pride ourselves on creating a family environment for our students and staff. The Bridge City ISD school board, administration, faculty, and staff are dedicated to our mission. The commitment to the 3,200 students who grace our hallways remains constant: To provide a comprehensive and well-balanced instructional program in a safe learning environment to ensure the development of caring, responsible, and productive graduates capable of contributing in a global society. We are passionate about student success and it is my hope that our commitment to students is evident in all we do. We provide an excellent academic and extracurricular environment that demands our students work hard to become the best they can be. We are investing a great deal in technology, career and technical education (CTE), and other resources to help ensure your child has an opportunity to reach their fullest potential. While we take pride in quality education and individualized educational opportunities, Bridge City ISD offers a variety of activities and educational programs to enhance the overall educational experience. I am excited to see what the future holds for our school district. I’d like to thank our community for supporting our schools through various hardworking and generous booster clubs that provide our students with everything they need to be successful. I invite you to become a part of our incredible community and school district. This is a great place to raise a family and educate your children. I invite you to follow our campus and district Facebook pages as we send school updates and highlight the many successes of the students of Bridge City ISD. It’s always a great day to be a Cardinal!
