Our Hereford Varsity Cheerleaders and Mighty Maroon Drumline were proud to help welcome United Supermarkets to town for their grand opening under their new name this week! Our students brought plenty of spirit to the celebration, and we loved hearing so many compliments from community members about their talent and energy!
We love opportunities to showcase our students while also giving back to a community that continually shows up for them. That support goes both ways, and we are incredibly thankful to United Supermarkets for their generous $2,500 donation to Hereford ISD!
When a community supports one another, everyone is stronger, and Hereford certainly knows how to show up for its people. Thank you, United Supermarkets, for allowing our students to be part of such a special morning!
Go Herd!

The Remarkable Story of Jack Fox
Some people leave a mark wherever they go. Brigadier General Jack R. Fox was one of those people, and Hereford ISD is proud to have been one of the many places shaped by his leadership.
Fox came to Hereford ISD in 1998 following an already distinguished career in the United States military. During his time at Hereford High School, he wasn't simply a teacher or coach. He became part of the foundation of programs that continue to impact students today.
In 1998, Fox helped launch the Lady Whiteface softball program, serving as its first head coach. He was also instrumental in organizing and building the Marine Corps JROTC program at Hereford High School and later coached cross country.
Those who knew him remember his leadership as something you could actually see.
When his cross-country athletes took to the streets of Hereford for training, Coach Fox wasn't following behind in a vehicle. He was running alongside them. Former colleagues still remember seeing him leading the pack through town, demonstrating the same leadership he carried throughout his life.
But Hereford was only one chapter in an extraordinary life of service.
Fox left HISD in 1999 to become Commandant of Cadets at his alma mater, New Mexico Military Institute. His career would later include serving as president of St. John's Military School, returning to military service and ultimately rising to the rank of Brigadier General. He also went on to serve as Cabinet Secretary of the New Mexico Department of Veterans Services.
His career took him many places and earned him numerous accomplishments, but here in Hereford, we remember something simpler.
We remember Coach Fox.
The man who helped build programs. The teacher students respected. The coach who didn't ask his athletes to run somewhere he wasn't willing to run himself.
Following the recent passing of Brigadier General Jack R. Fox, we are proud to look back at the remarkable life of a man who once walked the halls of Hereford High School and whose legacy can still be found within them today.
Coach. Teacher. General. Leader.

For the safety of our students and staff, the stadium will now be closed to the public from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on regular school days.
The stadium is used by students for classes and activities during the school day. Texas school safety requirements require school facilities to be secure and limit public access while students are present. Because of these requirements, the stadium must remain closed to the public during school hours.
We know many members of our community enjoy using the stadium, and we apologize for the inconvenience. The stadium will reopen to the public after 4:00 p.m.
Thank you for understanding and for helping us keep our students and staff safe.

We are proud to share that Hereford ISD has improved from a D to a C in the latest TEA Accountability Ratings! This marks exciting progress for our district and reflects the hard work happening in classrooms across HISD.
There is so much to celebrate across the Herd:
Aikman Elementary earned its third consecutive A, while Hereford Preparatory Academy earned its second A in a row!
Hereford High School saw significant growth, improving from a D to a C with an incredible 13-point increase.
Across the district, we saw multi-point growth in all areas, showing that the work being done each day is making a difference.
We know our work is far from finished. There are still areas where we must improve, goals we want to reach, and opportunities to better serve every student. But progress matters, and every step forward is worth celebrating.
Thank you to our incredible students, staff, families, and community members who continue to pour into Hereford ISD and support our schools. This progress belongs to all of you.
We’re proud of how far we’ve come, focused on where we’re going, and excited to keep moving Hereford forward!

Hereford ISD is proud to recognize Lieutenant Daniel Garcia for his outstanding dedication to school safety and his commitment to going above and beyond for our students, staff, and community.
Lieutenant Garcia recently achieved the Master level of School-Based Law Enforcement training, the highest level available. With this accomplishment, he becomes one of only eight officers in the Region 16 area to earn this distinction and one of only 438 among approximately 11,000 certified peace officers assigned to school-based law enforcement duties across the state of Texas.
His willingness to pursue additional training, strengthen his professional skills, and continually prepare himself to better protect and serve our schools demonstrates an exceptional level of professionalism and commitment.
Lieutenant Garcia was formally recognized for this achievement by the Hereford ISD Board of Trustees at last night's meeting.
We are incredibly grateful for Lieutenant Garcia and his continued dedication to making Hereford ISD a safer place for our students and staff each and every day. Congratulations on this outstanding achievement!
