It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of one of TREA's former Board Officers, Malinda Lindsay.  She served on our Board for several years, and was dedicated to TREA and the schoolchildren of Texas.  

Congratulations to these current TREA member district schools who placed in the top ten in their division of the UIL Lone Star Cup results for 2024!

Brian Stroman, TREA representative and Bloomburg ISD superintendent teamed up with ESC Region 8 School Safety Director Lee Gill to work with superintendent David Segers and Maud ISD on their District Vulnerability Assessment (DVA).  The result was a No Findings report, the best possible outcome for a DVA.  Great job, Maud ISD!

Remember, Brian and Lee can assist you with your DVA, and even if yours isn't scheduled for this year, it's not too early to get some guidance.  If you need more information, contact Bill Tarleton at [email protected]

Feel free to share with parents and others in your school community as you see fit.  

A special thanks to Kasey Hyde, our Coordinator for Member Services, for putting together this archive of TREA Conference Programs, Scholarship recipients, Of the Year Award Winners, and Art Contest Winners, for each year back to 2018!  Whether you are new to TREA or have been around us for decades, you'll enjoy looking through these archives.

See the letter below from Superintendent Wade Callaway explaining this remarkable feat.  Reprint permission given by Mr. Callaway;  emphasis added.  

In early February of 2024, Gruver ISD was contacted by Dr. Garrett Black of the Texas Education Agency(TEA) that Gruver High School had qualified to apply for nomination for the 2024 National Blue-Ribbon Schools Program. Gruver HS’s principal, Delma Haberthur, completed the application and submitted it in early April of the same year. Fast forward to September 2024 and Gruver High School has, in fact, been named a 2024 Blue Ribbon School for “Exemplary High-Performing Schools”.

Congratulations to the following TREA Member School Districts that had one or more Blue Ribbon Campuses!  If I missed any, please let me know, [email protected]
