Gala

On Wednesday, September 21, 2022, NEF hosted the Pillars of Character Recognition and Gala at The Tobin Center for the Performing Arts to celebrate seven NISD alumni for exemplifying the following character traits: Caring, Citizenship, Fairness, Responsibility, Respect, Trustworthiness, and Learning. Watch a replay of our gala live stream online and learn more about our newest Pillars by visiting our Pillars of Character webpage.

Thank you to our sponsors, volunteers and supporters for joining us! Congratulations to our 2022 NISD Pillars of Character on their achievements and support in ensuring the next generation of Pillars succeed. Together, we can do great things for NISD educators, students and families!

 

The NISD Partner and Employee Gratitude Awards Ceremony is on Thursday, April 15, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., live from the Brokemill Room at Pedrotti’s Ranch via a livestream at www.nisd.net/live. Thanks to RBFCU and Spurs Sports & Entertainment for sponsoring this event. 

This celebration, presented by the Northside Education Foundation (NEF), will recognize District employees for their extraordinary efforts since the pandemic began, and honor NISD’s Outstanding Partners of the Year and NEF’s Unsung Heroes.

All NISD employees, students, families and friends, and community and business partners are invited to watch and share the virtual event information.

This first-ever event is providing a unique opportunity to the community to learn untold stories about a variety of the District's essential education heroes, such as nurses, bus drivers, counselors, police officers, custodians, cafeteria staff, and after school daycare instructors, in addition to teachers, administrators, business and community partners, and many others, supporting Northside students, families and each other during the pandemic.

"As we're near the end of an unprecedented school year, I hope as much of the Northside family can participate. Many honorees at the event will be representing thousands of our best people deserving recognition and this allows them to join this special spotlight, even virtually. The time has come to applaud our heroes' hard work as NISD is essential, together, looking ahead," said NISD Superintendent Dr. Brian Woods.
