Harris County Board of Education honors dozens of student athletes and performers
Summary
The Harris County Board of Education used its May 14 special session to recognize student achievements across athletics, band and FFA: multiple regional and state titles, college signings and an undefeated middle‑school volleyball program that won its 10th championship were highlighted.
At its May 14 special session, the Harris County Board of Education spent the bulk of the meeting recognizing student athletes and program accomplishments from across the district.
Shelly Christopher Reagan (speaker S7) introduced several middle‑ and high‑school accomplishments and said she was "pleased to share some of our successes." The board acknowledged winners and signees across many sports: golf (48 in fall, 60 in spring), football, softball (region champions and third‑place state finish), volleyball (the ACCMS Tigers were celebrated as "Undefeated" and noted as the program's tenth volleyball championship), cross country, wrestling, swim, boys and girls soccer, tennis, and baseball. Coaches and presenters named many all‑region and all‑state players and several student‑athletes announced college commitments, including signings to Belmont University and Point University.
Dalton Jones (S3) highlighted the Midtown Cardinals wildlife team’s second‑place state finish, naming Lincoln Moss, Adrian Finch, Colt Johnson and Elvis Smith. Presenters and student speakers gave brief remarks thanking coaches, families and staff; one student said she was grateful to coaches Dean and Seaman and noted the team "came 1 stroke short from winning the whole thing." Coaches and athletic staff repeatedly emphasized dedication, teamwork and sportsmanship.
The board also noted upcoming state tournaments (for example, golf’s state meet on May 18–19 in Savannah) and delayed recognitions from previous seasons. The session primarily served as celebration and acknowledgment—no policy decisions were made during the recognitions portion.
