'Huddle Time' coming May 21 at Nacogdoches Co. Civic Center
Alton Frailey likes to say he was "hopeful" for Nacogdoches ISD before joining the school district in March as interim superintendent. 

Now, after being on the job several weeks, "hopeful" has changed to "optimistic" and Mr. Frailey wants to share his encouraging vision with Nacogdoches.

"Huddle Time" with Mr. Frailey is coming at 6 p.m. on May 21 at the Nacogdoches County Expo and Civic Center.
