Canyon ISD trustees opened their Sept. 8 meeting by recognizing student and staff achievements: Canyon High School tennis athletes who advanced to the UIL state tournament and Crestview Elementary’s Eagle Heirs choir, which earned an invitation to perform at the 2026 Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) convention.

Communications staff Lisa Johnson introduced senior Bradley Enriquez and junior Hannah Terry for finishing as UIL Class 4A mixed‑doubles state runner‑ups, and senior Samantha Malier for reaching the girls‑singles state quarterfinals. Trustees and the superintendent congratulated the athletes and coach David De Leon.

The board also honored Crestview Elementary’s Eagle Heirs under director Amanda Pullen for being invited to TMEA; staff said the 2024–25 group’s performance earned the invitation and that the 2025–26 Eagle Heirs will represent the school at the San Antonio convention (the recognized 24–25 group will not travel). Trustees applauded the students and thanked staff and community partners who support extracurricular opportunities.

Why it matters: The recognitions highlight student achievement in athletics and fine arts and the district noted that elementary travel plans were accommodated by scheduling that allowed same‑day travel for young students when necessary.

Next steps: The district will support fundraising by families for the optional, elective trip to TMEA and continue to recognize student achievements at future meetings.
