🌟 Longhorn Legend Nominations Are Coming! 🌟

Do you know someone who truly represents what it means to be a Longhorn Legend? Nominations will be open from April 1st through April 30th, so start thinking now about the person who deserves this special recognition!

A Longhorn Legend is someone who has made a positive impact on our community—someone who gives back, inspires others, and continues to represent Longhorn pride well beyond their time at
Early ISD. Nominees must have graduated or have been a staff member five years ago or more.

Let’s celebrate those who make a difference! Keep an eye out for nomination details coming soon, and get ready to honor someone who truly stands out.
