CROCKETT –  Crockett Independent School District (CISD) is soliciting nominations for the 2024 Ring of Honor candidates, who will be voted on by the school board and later honored in a ceremony before the Bulldog homecoming game Oct. 25, 2024, as they have their names set on the wall at Monte Jack Driskell Stadium. 

According to information from CISD, individuals are selected for their contributions to the Crockett school communities. They are part of a rich legacy and demonstrate a road map for success for young people today.

There is a process in place to nominate and select five new names, annually, to the Ring of Honor. If you know someone who deserves this honor and meets the criteria, please complete the candidate application, along with two letters of recommendation in support of the nominee’s candidacy, whether the nominee is a former student, teacher, coach, administrator or board member.
