Anderson Eagle Scout Improves Trail Near Campus for Cross Country Training

Before the 2013-14 school year began, the 122 students who make up the Anderson High School cross country team were already training hard for another successful season—waking up before the sun to work out along the sidewalks surrounding their campus.

Staff Spotlight for Custodian Appreciation Week

In honor of Custodian Appreciation Week, the district’s Communications Office sat down with Ronnie Trevino, who works in AISD’s central offices.

When did you join AISD?

In July 2008. I subbed for three years for the service center and came to CAC in July 2011.

What made you want to work for AISD

I had been laid off from my job working for a medical company making heart valves and a childhood friend told me to apply. I went to Austin public schools and love giving back.
