A Message From Dr. LaTonya M. Goffney, Superintendent

Dear Aldine Community,

As we near the conclusion of the 2023-2024 academic year, it’s a moment of immense pride to look back on the numerous academic and extracurricular triumphs we’ve achieved. Among these, I’m thrilled to announce that three of our high schools have been honored as Best High Schools by US News & World Report. This recognition is a testament to our collective dedication and hard work, and it’s a standard we aim to uphold.

In this edition, you can find updated information and recognitions for many outstanding programs and student achievements, like students headed to national competitions and Aldine High School’s baseball team making history!

This week, May 6-10, is Teacher Appreciation Week. Please take time with your student to share a note of gratitude with our amazing Aldine ISD teachers. We are so fortunate they chose to teach in Aldine and impact the lives of our students every day. Your gratitude will mean the world to them. Every day, I am in awe of our teachers’ dedication, expertise, and the love of learning they inspire in our classrooms.

This week, we also celebrate School Nurse Day (May 8) and School Communicators Day (May 10). Thank you to all the nurses that take care of our students. Thank you to the individuals at each campus who share the fantastic happenings across schools throughout our district on social media and with our Office of Communications. Throughout the month, schools are observing Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month — an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the cultures, traditions, achievements, and contributions of Asian Americans.

Looking forward, we have a series of special events lined up to honor the achievements of the Class of 2024. We’re eagerly anticipating our celebration of our Top 10 seniors and graduation ceremonies for all our seniors, which will be held later this month and in June. These events are not just milestones in our students’ lives but also moments of immense pride for our entire Aldine ISD community. Let’s come together to celebrate our seniors and show them they will always have a place to call home in Aldine ISD!

With Aldine Pride!
