Seguin ISD welcomes students back for 2025-2026 school year Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- The halls and classrooms of Seguin ISD will once again be filled with the energy of a new school year as students return to class today. The day marks the official kickoff of the 2025-2026 academic year for all Seguin ISD campuses. The excitement for this new school started last Thursday when staff came together at the Seguin Coliseum for the district’s annual convocation. Leading the event for the first time was new superintendent Dr. Jack Lee, who brought an energetic message to launch the year. “Our job as educators is really to focus on relationships, building positive relationships with our students, with our families, with our community as a whole – focusing on expert instruction. That’s what our teachers are -- they are experts in the classroom and when they combine those relationships with expert instruction, we see a lot of student success. It’s very much
about making sure that everyone understands that our community and family partnerships matter. Most importantly, just getting everyone in the room to understand that everyone plays a role in the positive education of students whether you are the bus driver that is greeting kids – the first person they see as part of Seguin ISD in the morning. If you are the cafeteria worker that is making sure that our kids are fed and taken care of – the custodians that are cleaning our buildings, the facilities or the grounds – any of that – everyone plays a role in ensuring that a student has the best education possible and that’s what really makes Matador Nation – all of us working together to see that happen,” said Dr. Lee. Dr. Lee described the convocation as a celebration of the district’s culture and teamwork. SISD, pg. 3
