January was School Board Recognition Month, and Corsicana ISD celebrates these local leaders for their dedication and willingness to serve as advocates for our children and public school. As elected officials, they are the voice of the community, serving first and foremost in the best interest of Corsicana school children.
"Board members shoulder critical responsibilities and often make difficult choices. Their ultimate goal is always focused on the future success of the children in our district," said Superintendent Dr. Diane Frost. "It's more important than ever before that the public supports our schools so that today's students are prepared to be productive citizens and the leaders of tomorrow. Our board members provide vision and leadership in their roles as advocates, and they will continue to stand up for public education and guard against anything that takes away from our children," she said.
Board members serving Corsicana ISD are: Leah Blackard, President; Barbara Kelley, Vice President; Dr. Kent Rogers, Secretary;
Rev. Ed Monk, John Saberton, Terry Seth, and Jason Sodd.
"Our district benefits from the tireless work and countless hours contributed by these local citizens who work without pay. Serving as a crucial link between the community and classroom, this board is responsible for an annual budget of $57 million, over 5900 students, 850 employees, and nine campuses. We wish to thank these dedicated volunteers for their efforts to make a difference and their unfailing commitment to the continued success of our students now and in the future," she said.

AFJROTC Flight Academy
Scholarship Recipient at CHS
|

CHS student, Jackson Hilmes, receives new AFJROTC Flight Academy Scholarship
Jackson Hilmes, an 11th grade Air Force Junior ROTC (AFJROTC) cadet at Corsicana High School has received a scholarship to attend one of six partnering universities participating in a private pilot license training program over the summer of 2018. Jackson Hilmes is one of 120 AFJROTC cadets around the world to receive the scholarship from Headquarters AFJROTC, Maxwell Air Force Base, Montgomery, Alabama. More than
 700 cadets applied for one of the 120 scholarships. There are more than 120,000 high school students enrolled in AFJROTC at 892 high schools in the US and overseas. The scholarship covers transportation, room and board, academics, and flight hours required to potentially earn a private pilot license. The scholarship is valued at approximately $20,000.
The Fight Academy Scholarship Program is a new Air Force-level initiative in collaboration with the commercial aviation industry to address the national civilian and military pilot shortage. AFJROTC has been charged by the Air Force Aircrew Crisis Task Force to bring back the "luster of aviation" to high school students and increase diversity in aviation fields. Those who participate in the program do not incur a military commitment to the Air Force or other branch of service, nor does completing the program guarantee acceptance into one of the military's commissioning programs. The mission of AFJROTC is to develop citizens of character dedicated to serving their nation and community, while instilling values of citizenship, service to the United States, personal responsibility, and sense of accomplishment. When looking to fill tomorrow's career needs with the best candidates, there is simply no better place for the nation to look than AFJROTC!

The scholarship is awarded to outstanding doctoral students pursing careers in educational leadership.
