"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
