The district's "Heartbeat of a Hornet" award was presented to 13 Azle ISD employees for the second semester of the 2024-25 school year. Employees were nominated by their peers, and award recipients were surprised with a certificate and gift.

Similar to the Heart of Azle Award - This award was established to recognize Azle ISD employees who display heart and inspire others through their actions. These employees have a servant’s heart and go above and beyond to care for our students, staff, parents, and community. They model our district mission of “making a difference to every child, every chance, every day.”

Congratulations to our award recipients for the second semester!
