Community turns out to honor Superintendent Holly Ferguson at Prosper ISD meeting
Summary
Trustees, students, staff and community members gave extended remarks honoring Superintendent Holly Ferguson upon her retirement, highlighting programs she helped bring to the district (including Hope Squad), long service and visibility at school events.
The May 18 Prosper ISD meeting included an extended tribute to Superintendent Holly Ferguson on the occasion of her retirement. Dozens of speakers — coaches, students, current and former staff, community volunteers and elected officials — offered personal remarks about Ferguson’s years of service, leadership in program development and presence at school events.
Speakers cited tangible programmatic legacies such as Hope Squad and student leadership opportunities, noted fundraising efforts by the Prosper Education Foundation and described Ferguson as consistently present at events across the district. The Prosper Education Foundation announced a dedicated fund to support Hope Squad as part of the retirement recognition.
Students who participated described the superintendent’s impact on leadership programs and described personal mentoring moments. Board members and community leaders presented awards and a commemorative journal of handwritten notes from staff and students.
The tribute was ceremonial in nature and did not involve policy votes; trustees then proceeded to routine business and closed‑session items later in the agenda.
