Huntsville ISD Tropical Weather Watch - 6/16/2026 Alert

Dear Huntsville ISD Families,

Huntsville ISD is currently tracking inclement weather forecasts related to tropical storm activity along the Texas Gulf Coast. Over the next few days, our immediate area faces a strong potential for increased rainfall which will increase the potential for flooding and gusty winds. Despite these conditions, we anticipate normal operations with summer school as scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, June 17.

Our monitoring will continue through tonight and into Thursday. Early tomorrow morning, the HISD Transportation Department will conduct an evaluation of local road conditions. If any changes to our schedule become necessary, we will notify families no later than 5:30 AM, or as soon as a decision is reached.

For the latest updates regarding plans for our school community, please stay tuned to the Huntsville ISD website and our social media channels. We encourage all families, particularly those in low-lying areas, to take all the necessary precautions to ensure their safety.

Calling ALL Hornets ~

It's time to help HISD find more CHAMPIONS to honor!!
The purpose of the Hall of Champions is to acknowledge the outstanding lifetime achievements of former Huntsville Hornets in a variety of categories. The honor reflects personal and professional accomplishments, as well as larger contributions to our society at a local, state, national, or international level. Honorees are role models and represent Champions in life - the “best of the best” among Hornet Alumni, former HISD employees and former HISD trustees. This year's chosen Champions will be inducted into the HISD HALL OF CHAMPIONS Class of 2026 during at a varsity football game this coming season.

Please submit your Hall of Champions nominations today!

The nomination deadline is Friday, August 14, 2026, to be considered for this fall's recognition.

Happy nominating!

And more Field Day fun!

05/21/2026

The big kids had their turn, and they showed OUT! Our 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders took on Field Day today with smiles, teamwork, and tons of heart. We ended the day with grade level tug of war competitions, and let’s just say our 5th graders are walking away as CHAMPIONS! What an amazing way to celebrate a great year!

The hallways felt extra special yesterday! Our graduating Seniors came back to walk the halls one more time, and our students were READY to cheer them on! There is nothing quite like watching our littlest learners celebrate the ones who walked these same halls not so long ago. Wishing our Seniors all the best as they take on the world!
