Fall 2025 More Cowbell Awards photo collage

Azle ISD recognized 17 employees and one community member/business with a "More Cowbell" award for the fall semester of the 2025-26 school year. Awards were presented to staff (and community) members whose positive energy and engagement are contagious. 

If you have not heard of "More Cowbell" it comes from a Saturday Night Live skit from the year 2000. The inspiration for "More Cowbell" is fun, of course, but also shows how energy, excitement, and going above and beyond in our roles can be the difference-maker.
