High Island ISD is an extraordinary district! We are fortunate
to be able to provide our students a world-class education where
all can reach their maximum potential. Our students’ academic
education is balanced with the development of their character and
each child is encouraged to become a productive and responsible
citizen. We continuously strive for excellence in a caring
community of learners. My purpose is to rally you, the community,
as we seek to place High Island ISD among the greatest districts
in this state. Much has already been done to accomplish that
goal and you are to be commended for your work. You certainly
have much of which to be proud. From academics to athletics,
the High Island family has been and continues to be a mighty force
for good in the lives of its students.
There is much to be done as we embark on another school year. We
cannot stop the process of building and improving High Island ISD. To
do so would betray the dedicated work of you and others who have
gone before us here. Above all, we must seek to foster and
nourish future generations. We must press on, secure in the
knowledge that we can make a difference through service
to our students. We will be a community of learners and leaders
dedicated to the greater cause of impacting our children’s future!
It is my greatest wish that I will be able to serve this district
with energy and enthusiasm using my abilities to empower our important
work together. The students of our district deserve nothing
less!
Yours in service and education,
D’Ann Cathriner-Vonderau, Ed.D.
