Nocona ISD prepares budget
Nocona Superintedent Dr. Vickie Gearheart presented a new vision statement to the school board during a July 17 meeting.
The vision statement has been a year in the making as all three campus principals worked with the superintendent to create a new vision statement for the district.
“Last year we had new principals at all three campus, so we wanted to create a new vision statement. I think it’s a testament to us all being on the same page and all seeing things for the district the same,” said Dr. Gearheart.
The new vision for Nocona Independent School District states: “We envision schools that inspire excellence initiated by high expectations for teaching ad learning. We see schools where children feel safe and where success is expected and initial failure is understood as a part of learning.”
The Nocona ISD mission is to engage the digital generation in the teaching and learning process by designing lessons that promote creativity and innovation, critical thinking and problem solving and communication and collaboration.
The superintendent also presented a facility and budget update to trustees.

Both Bowie and Nocona High School bands came home with the big wins last week as they earned sweepstakes. Bands who earn superior ratings for marching in the fall, can earn the top award if they have superior ratings during concert and sight reading in the spring. The Bowie band is shown above. Director is German Torres.
Nocona High School Band shows off their sweepstakes trophy after last week’s concert and sight reading contest. The band is directed by Randy Brooks.
Third graders at Bowie Intermediate presented the Norse Myth Mardi Gras parade last week. They created not only floats, but stories for the Krewe Bezeker Vikings. See more photos in the Thursday Bowie News. (Photos by Barbara Green)
