Aug. 5, 2025 BoardBits

During the Aug. 5 meeting, the STISD Board of Directors and Administration recognized Health Professions graduate Ben Morocho for making history as the first STISD student athlete to sign a Division I athletic scholarship.

An official signing ceremony was held for him at the end of the school year, during which he signed his national letter of intent to play men's volleyball while pursuing his studies in business at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut, in the fall. 

The first day of the 2025-2026 School Year is Monday, Aug. 18. Be sure to review the B2S resources on the district website to prepare!
