Early Childhood Development Center named H-E-B Excellence in Education finalist

Corpus Christi ISD concluded the annual Winter Break with exciting news, with officials learning Jan. 9 that the Early Childhood Development Center was named a state finalist in the prestigious H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards in the Early Childhood Center category.

“We are thrilled to see our Early Childhood Development Center staff’s dedication recognized at such a prestigious level,” said Superintendent Dr. Roland Hernandez. “Being named a finalist in H-E-B’s Excellence in Education Awards for early childhood education is a testament to our commitment to providing quality early learning experiences for our youngest students.”

Winners will be announced at the H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards ceremony in May. The winning Early Childhood Center will receive $25,000, and finalists in the category $5,000.

H-E-B Excellence in Education’s School District Award is based on commitment to student achievement through innovative programs, parent/community involvement, and professional development opportunities for teachers and administrators. Since their awards program began in 2002, H-E-B has awarded more than $13 million to Texas teachers, principals, public school districts, school boards, and early childhood facilities.

Donna Hohn’s retirement after 27 years with the district.

“We are pleased to welcome Roxanne Douglas as our new Chief Financial Officer,” said Superintendent Dr. Roland Hernandez. “Her two decades of dedicated service to CCISD, combined with her strong financial background and thorough understanding of our district’s operations, make her exceptionally qualified for this role. Her experience and leadership will be invaluable as we continue to be good stewards of our community’s resources.”
