Hays CISD Convocation 2019
At Convocation, every employee in the District gathers in one place for the start of the new academic year. Superintendent Dr. Wright provides information on initiatives and goals for the upcoming year. Convocation also gives everyone a chance to hear about the direction of the District, directly from Dr. Wright. The message comes directly to everyone, not through a memo or layers of management.
Convocation also gives us time to celebrate the accomplishments of the previous year, provides team building and sets a positive tone for the new academic year.
As I traveled through our gathering, I had the opportunity to speak to teachers, principals, administrators, librarians, food service staff, electricians, counselors, nurses and more. Every employee in the District was gathered on the grounds of Texas Old Town. One person told me that even though each of our 23 campuses had their own section, everyone walked around and visited with friends from other schools. We all know each other, regardless of the campus we are on, she said. We are all one family.
