HITCHCOCK, TX – Hitchcock Independent School District (HISD) is proud to announce that 13 of its educators have earned designations through the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) program, marking the first year Hitchcock ISD teachers have been eligible for this prestigious recognition. These designations reward teachers for their exceptional instructional impact and student growth, providing them with additional compensation while ensuring they remain in the classroom to continue making a difference.

It is with great sadness that we share the heartbreaking loss of one of our Hitchcock High School seniors, Francisco Silva. Francisco was a bright young man with a kind heart, a passion for helping others, and a future full of promise. 

Hitchcock High School will implement a closed campus policy starting February 24, 2025. This decision was made to increase student safety, minimize policy violations, and improve academic focus.

Hitchcock ISD was proudly represented at the Inaugural Business, Leadership & Urban Excellence (B.L.U.E.) Awards Gala, a prestigious event honoring individuals who exemplify leadership, service, and excellence within the community. Hosted by Dedrick Johnson Productions in partnership with B.L.U.E. Inc., the gala celebrated African American professionals, educators, and community leaders who have made a significant impact.

Among the honorees were two Hitchcock ISD standouts:

• Coach Jordan, recipient of the 2025 Trailblazer Award, recognized for his outstanding contributions to youth development and leadership.
• Deidre Holmes, nominated for the Educator of Excellence Award, a testament to her unwavering dedication to academic achievement and student success.
