Department Spotlight!
Kudos to our Hutto ISD Police Department!
Your time, support, and kindness mean so much. One of my vivid memories of one of our officers last year was how he met with a student and worked with the individual. The individual was struggling & the police officer helped build the child up. The student's behavior changed and improved for the better with the Hutto ISD police officer's mentorship and kindness. That is a great depiction of our Hutto ISD Police Department. Thank you for all you do.
**Kudos & Congrats on your Spotlight!**
Here is one of our new employees in #HippoNation! We're SO glad you're with us! We are honored to have you!

Safer roads can start with you!
Speeding, slamming on the brakes, talking on the phone … how you drive matters. No one is a perfect driver, but with 37,133 lives lost in 2017 alone, we need to do better.
Safer roads can start with you and a little help from HMDrive — Horace Mann’s mobile app that will help you gain insights and self-awareness to become a better, safer driver. HMDrive measures your vehicle’s driving dynamics, shows trip summaries and provides details on your driving style and distracting behaviors to help you learn to be the best driver you can be.
We all have a responsibility to make our roads safer. Take the first step by downloading the app today. Contact your Horace Mann representative for an HMDrive activation code and download instructions.

What is "Human Capital?"
What is a "Courant?"
Courant also means running according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Hippos run. We run to ensure that our students are getting the very best that they deserve and need. We run to ensure that the spirit of the River Horse never dies. If you didn't know, River Horse means Hippo; It is the literal English translation of the Greek word Hippopotamus!
Our Courant will be composed of topics that relate to career pathways, growing us as individuals, and other topics that relate to the human capital component of our work.
