WOW- What a WIN!! Congratulations to our Bi-District Champion Hornet Varsity Football Team! Our Hornets beat the Texas City Stingarees 10-7! #HornetProud #BuildingChampions

We were shared this remarkable photo taken by Jennifer Reynolds and published in the Galveston County Daily News. It's a photo taken after the game, where she captured one of our Hornet players consoling a Texas City Stingaree player. What a moment. Beautiful.

Our 18+ Students spend their days on the move- each day working and learning at another job site (Huntsville State Park, The COME Center, HEB Huntsville, Goodwill and here at Double Dave's) along with running the coffee and snack carts at Huntsville High School. At Double Dave's, they have a quick meeting with Mrs. Winston and review their week, then they split up for cleaning duties. After a good sweep, they fold pizza boxes and after that, a well deserved cold drink! These students are capable, and want to help and make a difference. Thank you to all these businesses that give them the opportunity- we couldn't do it without them! We're making a video that showcases the program- consider this a sneak peak! #HornetProud #BuildingChampions

The Huntsville High School Career and Technical Education Department welcomed local Veterans for the Career and Technical Education Department Veterans Day Appreciation Showcase. Thank you to all our Veterans!

"I am a Hornet and also a Bearkat by birth! I love the Hornets and pledge my devotion. I am so proud of how HISD is growing academically. A great school district is returning! My education from HISD made college pretty easy. The trades that were taught also gave students a way to earn a great living as well. Though I no longer live in Huntsville, I am a life long Hornet." ~ Patsyann Reed #HornetProud #OnceaHornetAlwaysaHornet
