Here are a few quotes from his nominators:
"(Taw) is widely respected because he leads with integrity, compassion, and authenticity. His leadership is grounded in listening to others, building trust, and always putting students first."
"Taw leads from within the community, not above it, embodying the district's mission, Sagayt k'üülm goot—All of One Heart. Under his leadership, this mission has become a philosophy for how AISD approaches students, families, staff, culture, and community."
"One of Taw's greatest strengths is his relentless advocacy for students and families. He works tirelessly to remove barriers to student success, ensuring that every child has access to the support, resources, and opportunities they need to thrive. Whether addressing academic needs, social-emotional well-being, or family engagement, Taw consistently demonstrates a commitment to meeting students where they are and helping them reach their full potential."

AISD Families:
During the month of October, Nurse Hudson will be conducting health screenings for ALL AISD Students, PreK - 12th grade!
She will be screening hearing, vision, height, and weight.
-We have a state of the art vision screening machine that detects a variety of vision issues. If students do not pass the screening, we will send results to parents to be referred for further care.
-Remember, screening tests only alert us to a possible hearing or vision problems. We can assist you in getting a referral to a vision or hearing specialist if needed.
If you do NOT wish for your child to receive a health screening, please let their school office or Nurse Hudson know.
If you have questions or concerns about your child with regard to these screenings, please contact Nurse Hudson for more information:
