HDISD has been working diligently with the Texas Schools and Cities Conserving Resources (SCORE) Program to reduce energy consumption within the district. Texas SCORE is a voluntary program that offers objective, third-party consulting on best practices in the areas of energy usage and energy efficiency. The program is funded by Entergy Texas and is offered at no cost to participants. Through energy conservation efforts such as lighting retrofits, new roofing, and A/C replacements, HDISD has received an energy rebate check in the amount of $5,471.00 from Entergy. Phil Lanier (left) was at the board meeting on January 19 to present the check to the board.

HDISD now has access to a community message system called Nixle. We urge everyone to sign up to receive text messages and e-mail from the district. To view the directions, follow the link below. Be sure to put in the school's address to ensure successful delivery of messages.
