Azle ISD

Azle ISD recognized Zach Freeman with The Azle News (formerly The Tri-County Reporter) at the July 21, 2025, school board meeting for being named to the 2025 TASB Media Honor Roll.

The Media Honor Roll is a program sponsored by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) that recognizes media representatives statewide for fair and balanced reporting of news about public schools.

Criteria for selection include the media representative’s efforts to get to know the superintendent, board president, and the district’s mission and goals; report school news in a fair, accurate, and balanced manner; give a high profile to positive news about schools; visit the schools; and maintain a policy of no surprises by sharing information with school officials.

Congratulations to Zach (AHS Alum) and The Azle News!
