HISD Employee Spotlight: Sara Salinas

Sara Salinas is a sixth grade Science teacher and was recently named Employee of the Month for the Middle School campus. She said she’s excited because it’s her first year to teach Science which is her passion.

Salinas is a 2010 Howe High School graduate where she attended since kindergarten. She says she loves that the school and community are close-knit where you see people that you have known for a long time and now she gets to teach their kids.

She says it is a different angle of Howe schools from the view of a student and a teacher. “I get to be around people that taught me and now be co-workers with them and see them differently, but it’s still good ol’ Howe.”

In college, Salinas received a grant that allowed her to go on trips and learn STEM lessons and one of which took her through a training class at NASA.

Her teaching career began in Tom Bean where she taught fifth and sixth grade math.

“I loved the people, but my idea has always wanted to be here— home,” said Salinas. She’s also involved youth cheer in helping out and being an extra hand when needed. She was a cheerleader herself in Howe.

Salinas credits Cindy Wilkerson as a major influence on her at Howe ISD as a student.

“She was my cheer coach and was somebody that really stood out to me because I know that she loved me and took really good care of me in high school.”

the kickoff from Weston Tubb which was recovered by Asher Reinhart. That set up one of the most remarkable middle-screen passes which Haley threw to Daniels who took advantage of blocks and side-stepped five defenders on his way to an impressive 32yard score. The Dogs took the 2820 lead into the locker room and had clear momentum for one of the few times all season.

To open the second half, McAree found Kori Foster for a 21-yard pass to tie the game, 28-28 with 9:29 left in the third. But Howe answered back with a 12-play, 67 yard drive that ended on a 25 yard field goal by Del Angel to push Howe back in front, 31-28.

After a couple of punts by each team, Dell again found the endzone from the five yard line to again give Rains the lead at 35-31 in the final stages of the third quarter.

Haley found Hough again on a 31 -yard strike to give Howe a 38-35 lead with 9:06 left in the game, but the Dog defense couldn’t stop Dell and McAree as they went 67 yards on six plays and took a 4338 lead on a Dell 5-yard run. $600 scholarship each year to Howe students with alumni ties.

away and put the game in the hands of his defense. But the result was a Rains clock-draining drive that ended the game.

Howe’s offense is averaging 339.33 yards per game which is currently ranked fifth all-time in school history. This comes just one year after posting one of the worst offenses in school history with only 149.2 yards per game in 2020. The turnaround has been remarkable and compares to the 2019 season which ranked fourth all-time with 340.5 yards per game. But in 2019, Howe only allowed their opponents 353.10 yards per game, still a lot, but not comparable to the 503.67 yards per game allowed this season which is far and above the worst in the 78 years of the varsity football program. Last year’s 393 yards per game allowed was the worst prior to this season.

Howe will host Commerce Friday night for homecoming. The Tigers lost to Pottsboro Friday night and 1-5 on the season and 0-3 in district play. It appears on paper to be a good contest and opportunity for the Bulldogs to end their current 18-game losing streak. Commerce’s lone win this season was against Division II Lone Oak, 2814.

The game will be broadcast live on HoweEnterprise.com and on YouTube at the following link: https://youtu.be/fFHELndHrss

was capped off with a deep throw from Eli Espita to Elijah Willoughby to make the final score 33-6 Bulldogs. Eli Espita threw for 91 yards on the day. The 3rd and 4th-grade Bulldogs will play Blue Ridge in Howe, next Saturday at 1:30.

vehicles such as bicycles, scooters, etc. are not allowed on the track. The only exception would be strollers because they are relatively light.

The new concrete parking area is also closed to skateboards, bicycles, scooters, etc. for a touchdown. The Bulldogs continued their onslaught as Kaiden Thomas and Aiden Kane had touchdowns of their own. Deacon Bender showed that he is more than just an arm, with two scores on the ground as well. Jagger Black also caught a pass for a two-point conversion. The defense held strong all day, led by defensive captain Cruz Garcia. Samantha Fuhr and Luke Ellison were dominant on the day with numerous tackles and sacks. The final score of the game was 39-0 Bulldogs. The 5th and 6thgrade Bulldogs will face off against Blue Ridge in Trenton, next Saturday at 10:30.

Howe ISD Superintendent Kevin Wilson says the district has made a significant investment into the new facilities.

“Please help us maintain them by following the posted guidelines. Our playgrounds and grassy areas at the campuses are open to the public and may be used for football, soccer, etc.”

Texoma Patriots to welcome Katie Hopkins tonight Fired KXII employees to speak at Tuesday event

Submitted—Katie Hopkins is a friend of America and she is back on tour in the US. Hopkins is a British journalist best known for her fiercely opinionated, smartly direct, unapologetic style. She is often described as the British Ann Coulter, the female Farage, or Milo’s mum. She is, in truth, very much her own woman — and a very funny one at that.

She will be hosted by the Texoma Patriots tonight at 7 pm at the Red River Cowboy Church in Denison, 3800 Highway 691.

Hopkins’ talks, backed by journalistic integrity, are fiercely patriotic, according to the Texoma Patriots. She fights hard for her country and has been traveling to America to alert us. Her key message to America is “Do not let yourselves fall as we in Britain have fallen.”

Hopkins describes herself as a Christian Conservative with one husband and three children. These qualities, she says, puts her on the international endangered species list along with the black rhino. President Trump described her as a respected columnist and thanked her for her work exposing the abject madness of unchecked illegal migration. A trained economist, she fills auditoriums wherever she goes. She’s been the ‘most read’ columnist at DailyMail.com. Her best-selling book RUDE is a remarkable handbook for life.

Everyone is welcome to all Texoma Patriots events which are free of charge. However, to help defray some of Hopkins’ travel expenses, they will be asking for a love offering at this meeting. You will have the opportunity to meet elected officials and candidates as well as fellow conservatives and other like-minded freedom loving Texans. Former KXII's Dan Thomas and 33-year weatherman Tom Miller will be speaking at 903 Brewers and Restaurant in Sherman tomorrow, October 12, at 6:30. There is no admission.

KXII parent company Gray Television fired six employees for refusing government mandated COVID-19 vaccine. Thomas and Miller will open the Grayson County Conservatives’ October meeting on their choice for medical freedom. Following their open will be the Texas Conservative Mamas Truth Tour as they shine a light on the 87th Texas Legislative Session.

Everyone is welcome and masks are never required. Memberships are also not required, but they invite those to join the organization.
