TASB Announces Top Three Winners of Statewide Student Video Contest

Austin— Texas Association of School Boards is proud to announce the top three winners of its biennial Student Video Contest, designed to showcase the strength and success of Texas public schools through promotional videos with students as the stars.  

A prize of $5,000 will be awarded to the following school districts, which each placed first in their category based on creativity, message, and technical quality: 

• Tyler ISD: Large district or 5,001 or more students 
• Robinson ISD: Medium district or 501-5,000 students 
• Santa Maria ISD: Small district or no greater than 500 students 

A total of 41 videos from districts across the state were submitted for consideration by a panel of six judges. TASB Executive Director Dan Troxell applauded all of the districts that submitted entries and congratulated the three winners. 

“These videos focus on what makes public schools the best choice while highlighting the achievements of individual school districts,” Troxell said. “We are incredibly proud of all the students who participated in this year’s contest.” 

Each of the three winning videos offers a different message of inspiration. Tyler ISD’s video showcases students of all ages talking about their school district. Robinson ISD’s video focuses on character and the traits that embody a Robinson student. Santa Maria ISD’s winning entry illustrates how a district can be small but feel like a large family.  

TASB President Rolinda Schmidt said the videos help illustrate the important role that Texas public schools have in their communities. 

“No matter a district’s size, every school has a story to tell,” she said. “It’s through sharing those successes and stories that we connect, inspire, and create a positive impact for the 5.5 million schoolchildren in our state.”
