Thank you to all of our parents and guardians who visited their child's campus yesterday to learn about their academic progress and goals during Student Led Conferences.
A District will operate at its highest level when students, teachers, administrators, and parents/guardians are working together as one for the betterment of the child.

Thursday, February 16th, 2023 -- 9:30 a.m.
On Monday, February 13th, the Mineola ISD Board of Trustees voted 7 FOR and 0 AGAINST to name Mrs. Brittany Thompson as the new Middle School Principal for the 2023-2024 school year. Also, the Board of Trustees voted 7 FOR and 0 AGAINST to name Mrs. Angela Shine as the new Elementary School Principal at the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year.
Mr. Mize stated, "We are so proud of what Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Shine have accomplished as a leadership team at Mineola Elementary and look forward to their continued leadership in our District for many more years in their new roles."
We also want to express a sincere "Thank You" for the leadership of Mrs. Gould and Mr. Sorenson. Mrs. Gould has spent 30 years in public education with 25 of those years serving the students and staff members of Mineola ISD. Mr. Sorenson has spent 41 years in public education with 13 of those years serving as a teacher, coach, and administrator in Mineola ISD. We wish both of these outstanding individuals the very best in retirement at the end of this school year.
The District is currently going through the process of selecting a new High School Principal. Mr. Mize expects that person to be recommended to the Board of Trustees at the March 14th Board of Trustees meeting.

Happy Friday!
Thank you again to everyone for their flexibility during this week's winter weather. We have had several people ask about having to make up days. Fortunately, our 2022-2023 Academic Calendar will not require us to make up any of the minutes that we have missed due to bad weather.
Have a great weekend!
