MISD named H-E-B Excellence in Education finalist
Midlothian ISD has been named a 2025 Finalist in the Large School District category for the prestigious H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards program. This recognition spotlights the work of the district's staff members at all levels across all divisions.
Superintendent Dr. David Belding expressed pride in the accomplishment. "Excellence of this magnitude does not happen in isolation," said Belding. "What a testament to our staff and students for their hard work and achievement over multiple years. It reflects their efforts and the staff’s focus on inspiring excellence. We congratulate all our staff members, students, parents and community for reaching finalist status in such a coveted awards program."
The H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards celebrates public school districts, school boards, early childhood education facilities and educators who demonstrate a strong dedication to teaching and learning. As a finalist, MISD will receive a $5,000 award and advance to the next stage of the competition, where the winner of the Large School District category will receive a $100,000 grant to further enhance educational opportunities.
The awards program is one of the largest monetary recognition programs for educators in Texas and the nation. Since the program’s inception in 2002, H-E-B has awarded more than $14 million in funding to outstanding Texas teachers, counselors, principals, public schools, early childhood centers, school boards, and school districts.
The next phase of the program includes a site visit by a panel of judges to engage with district leadership, educators, students, parents and community members to gain deeper insights into the district’s initiatives and achievements. Winners of the H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards will be announced at a ceremony on May 4.
