Congratulations to all of our newly selected Campus Paraprofessionals of the Year. The winners were chosen by the staff members at their campuses because of the characteristics that they bring to the school, students, educational climate and other staff members.  

A panel of judges made up of business leaders also interviewed the candidates to determine a district elementary and secondary Paraprofessional of the Year. Winners will be announced on May 8.   WISD is proud of each of them and salute the professionalism they display.
