Birdville ISD Board of Trustees Meetings CTE Student Organizations Recognized
JROTC Honor Unit of Distinction Designation
It is a privilege to recognize JROTC instructors for their extraordinary success for receiving the Honor Unit
of Distinction designations at Haltom High School, Richland High School, and Birdville High School.
U.S Army Junior Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (JROTC) is a congressionally mandated program that
focuses on the youth-oriented mission “Motivating Young People to be Better Citizens”. It is one of the
largest youth programs in the world with high school students participating while enrolled in secondary
educational programs. JROTC encompasses a myriad of teaching goals focused on leadership, teamwork,
character education, personal responsibility, a sense of accomplishment, and service to the nation.
The JROTC Program came to Birdville ISD in 1958 at the original Birdville High School which is now
Haltom High School. Another unit was established in 1961 with the opening of Richland High School and
in 2001 a unit was established at the “new” Birdville High School. We truly appreciate Birdville ISD’s
dedication and support of this outstanding program. July 1st marks the 60th anniversary of the JROTC
program in Birdville ISD.
This year during the JROTC Program Assessment all three high schools received the Honor Unit with
Distinction designation. Only 5% of the multi-school JROTC districts such as ours achieve the HUD status
for all of their JROTC Units.
It is a privilege to recognize the outstanding JROTC leaders and instructors, Colonel Robert Fallis, Haltom
High school instructors Sergeant Scott Murrah & Sergeant Ricardo Lopez, Richland High school
instructors, Captain Warren Harris & Mister Paul Dietrich, Birdville High school instructors Captain
George Jons & First Sergeant Roy Hunter.
Congratulations to these instructors for achieving the highest level, Honor Unit of Distinction designation.
You have brought recognition to your JROTC programs & to Birdville ISD.
CTE International Finalists DECA International Career Development Conference
It is a privilege to recognize two Birdville High school students who were finalists at the DECA Interna-

DECA is an international, co-curricular Career & Technology Student Organization of over 225,000
members with a mission to prepare emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality
and management in high schools and colleges around the globe.
The competition in Atlanta consisted of 20,000 students from throughout the United States, Guam, Puerto
Rico, Virgin Island, and 9 countries including Canada, China & Germany, with approximately 200
students competing in each event.
The team of Ryan Shannon and Emma Wright, BHS Seniors, competed in a 30-page marketing research
written project that included an oral presentation to industry judges, and placed as international finalists in
the Hospitality and Tourism Operations Research event. Ryan is a two-year member of DECA and has
won at state and competed on the international level for the past two years. Emma is also a second year
member of BHS DECA who was a finalist at the state level last year.
Students achieve national recognition because of dedicated teachers. It is a privilege to recognize
Marketing teachers from Birdville High School, Emily Shipman and Chad Lewis.
These students are the perfect example of a BISD Portrait of a Graduate. These relevant events and the
rigorous competitions showed that they exhibit competence as empowered learners, responsible citizens,
global competitors and innovative entrepreneurs.
Congratulations to these outstanding students and their teachers for achieving tremendous success. You
have brought honor to your families, to your school, to BISD, and to the State of Texas.

ASSURANCE OF NONDISCRIMINATION
No student shall be denied the right to participate in any school program, education service, or activity because of
the student’s race, religion, sex, national origin or disability. The district has designated Skip Baskerville to coor-
dinate its efforts to comply with the nondiscrimination requirements of Title IX of the Education Amendments of
1972 as amended, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 dealing with rights of students with disabili-
ties. All complaints shall be handled through established channels and procedures beginning with the building
principal, followed by appeal to the Administrative Assistant for Community, Parent, and Student Concerns and
finally the Board of Trustees. The Birdville Independent School District does not discriminate on the basis of a
disability by denying access to the benefits of District services, programs, or activities. To request information
about the applicability of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), interested persons should contact
John Hughes at (817) 547-5844..
