(Geronimo) -- Out of 2,000 applications, the Navarro ISD has been recognized as a semifinalist in the district category for the 2026 H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards. The district recently announced that it advanced to the regional judging process after judges reviewed applications from educators and school districts across the state. According to district officials, Navarro ISD’s application focused on its “Collaborative Vision” and the relationship-centered approach known as the “Navarro Promise.”
They say the submission also highlighted the district’s “leadership development efforts, curriculum and instruction, and financial oversight during a period of rapid growth, and stakeholder engagement.” Navarro ISD Superintendent Dr. Mandy Epley says the district was honored to be recognized by one of the state’s most respected companies. “We were super excited to see that they highlighted us. They recognized those things are really to a level of excellence. Award, pg. 3
These pinwheel displays seen throughout Seguin and Guadalupe County are part of an annual campaign to raise awareness, with each pinwheel representing a child served by the center. In 2025 alone, GCCAC supported 942 children — a number reflected at each of the pinwheel lawns. Photos courtesy Schertz PD. See story on page 2.
