HEB 2025 Awards Gala and 2026 Applications

I was invited to attend the 2025 HEB Excellence in Education Awards Sunday night in Austin, and it was nothing short of amazing.  As a first time attendee, I witnessed inspiring acceptance speeches from winners, as well as the keynote address from Admiral William H.
