Nacogdoches ISD Spotlight Spotlight Aug. 2014 | Page 2

WELCOME FROM THE
SUPERINTENDENT
Dear Members of the Nacogdoches ISD community:
Welcome to the 2014-15 school year! This is going
to be a great year here at Nacogdoches ISD as we
focus on the theme, “I am Nacogdoches ISD”. All
indications are that we will have more than 6,400
students on the exciting first day of school – more
than sixty-four hundred students who will be
saying, “I am Nacogdoches ISD.” We also have more
than 900 committed educators and support staff
members who are Nacogdoches ISD!
There is no doubt that we face some great
challenges, but there are more things that we can
be proud of in our outstanding schools. The best
teachers, the best students, the best leaders, the
best support staff and community leaders make up
each of our campuses. As you contemplate the start
of this school year, think of the many positive things
of which you can be part of this year. There is no
other community that has the impact on the future
that ours does. We shape this community together
through our shared efforts.

I am very excited about this year. I know that it
is going to be the best year in the history of this
school district because of our efforts as a team —
students, staff, parents and our community. We
will work together to ensure that Nacogdoches ISD
is recognized across the nation as a place where
everyone has high expectations, everyone teaches
and learns, and everyone shows and receives
respect.
Welcome back!
Sincerely,
Dr. Fred Hayes
Superintendent

I hope each of our students had a restful and funfilled summer. It is extremely important to take time
away to clear your mind, to return refreshed and
energized to face the great opportunity before us.

NISD Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Fred Hayes
