Congratulations to the September Superintendent's Shining Star, Katie Elmer, Senior at Veterans Memorial High School!Katie is a two-year captain of our Varsity softball team, and 4-year letterman with unanimous all-district and all-academic honors each year she has played. She leads by EXAMPLE and motivates those around her to grow despite the discomfort we may experience during the learning process. She is the type of student-athlete others strive to emulate. Katie is extremely kind and welcoming to all her peers. She often takes underclassmen "under her wing" and invests time and attention to instruct them in the skills we develop during her softball athletic period. Katie was surprised by her principals, soccer coach and peers when awarded her recognition.We are proud to have students like Katie at Judson ISD!View all the photos.

Being a leader comes naturally to Woodlake Hills MS student Gabriella Berry. She has not let any obstacles get in her way this school year – she recently helped give back to the community by assisting with organizing a food drive with her fellow members of the Gamma Sigma Pearls by donating 30 lbs of food to the San Antonio Food Bank. Gabriella has maintained a positive attitude and adjusted to excelling academically during her transition of being a virtual student. It is for these reasons and many more that Gabriella was chosen as the January Superintendent Shining Star. Dr. Ball and the Woodlake Hills MS leadership team surprised Gabriella at her home announcing her recognition. Ms. Tamika James from WHMS says, “Gabriella loves to help others and provide words of encouragement. She believes in being a positive role model for others to follow.” Congratulations, Gabriella, on being the Superintendent Shining Star for the month of January!
