Ott's Outlook
October 2019
As we end the first grading period of the year, enough time has passed to see many of our students and staff in action. Our staff has worked in and outside the classroom, tending to the needs of our students.
Our students are competing at the highest levels in Academics, CTE, Athletics and Fine Arts. Both groups have participated in many great events ranging from Freedom Walks to Constitution Activities, all of which demonstrated the learning of our students.
My role as superintendent is to champion these student and staff successes. I have been circulating through the community providing presentations to many different groups updating the Temple ISD 2025 Plan. This has been well-received and I hope to catch you at one of these presentations.
Thanks for supporting Temple ISD. We will continue to work hard on behalf of our students and this great community.
Bobby Ott
