Recognized as a District of Distinction for Visual Arts

For the second year in a row, Spring Branch ISD has been awarded the Texas Art Education Association (TAEA) District of Distinction Award for its leadership in promoting visual arts within the district and the community. More than 1,200 districts were eligible to apply for the TAEA Visual Arts Award, and only 59 received recognition. SBISD was honored at the organization’s annual conference this fall along with District Visual Art Coordinator Sally Doyle as Outstanding Art Educator in Supervision/Administration for 2022. The SBISD Board of Trustees recognized both achievements during their regular meeting in November. “I am proud of all our art teachers have accomplished,” said Doyle. “Their dedication to our students and art advocacy is astounding. I celebrate alongside them this wonderful award.” Congratulations to these amazing educators!
