GREETINGS CHANNELVIEW ISD COMMUNITY

It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to the inaugural edition of VYPE: Channelview ISD Athletics. I am humbled to serve as your Director of Athletics and proud to represent the incredible student athletes, coaches, and staff who make Channelview ISD special. Our gyms, fields, and stadiums are buzzing with excitement as our student athletes, coaches, and fans prepare for a new season of competition and accomplishments. As we begin this year, we do so with the utmost respect for the legacy of our former Athletic Director, William E. Jennings, whose leadership and passion built a foundation we are proud to carry forward. This vision for Channelview Athletics remains at the heart of all we do, and we are committed to honoring his memory by striving for excellence in every arena. Channelview ISD competes in District 23-6A, one of the toughest and most competitive districts in the state. Each school we face sets a high standard, as do we, and we embrace the challenge as an opportunity for growth and excellence. Our athletic core values of integrity, excellence, respect, and accountability drive every decision as we prepare our student-athletes not just to win games, but to possess the grit it takes to succeed in life.

This year, we are focused on several key initiatives: strengthening our junior high programs to ensure a strong pipeline of long term success of Future Falcons, investing in coach development, expanding support systems that emphasize both academic success and athletic growth, and being intentional about celebrating all of the successes of our student-athletes both on and off the field of play. We are also committed to enhancing community engagement by creating opportunities for families and alumni to be active participants in our journey. What will set Channelview ISD Athletics apart now and in the future is our commitment to the whole student-athlete. It is more than just wins and losses but our focus is building leaders of character, fostering teamwork, and cultivating pride in representing Channelview. Together, we will continue to raise the bar. We sincerely thank you in advance for your support, and let’s make this year one to remember with of pride, purpose, and success. Go Falcons!

Enjoy The View, Damion Hopkins Director of Athletics Channelview ISD
