April 22, 2022—The CFISD Human Resources department will honor students who desire to pursue careers in education by putting on the first-ever Future Educators Signing Day, to be held from 6-7:30 p.m. on April 27 at the Berry Center.

Family members, friends and campus and district staff will recognize the accomplishments of students enrolled in Child Guidance and Teaching and Training courses. In addition, guests will offer their support as students will soon head off to colleges and universities to begin earning their degrees in anticipation of returning to CFISD as classroom teachers.

The evening will begin with a short program consisting of introductions of the courses and remarks from district administrators, including Dr. Mark Henry, CFISD superintendent of the schools, and Roy Garcia, chief officer of school leadership. A photo slideshow will show throughout the evening highlighting the students in action during the school year.

Among the activities for students interested in becoming future educators include working with current CFISD teachers at neighboring campuses and competing in the Texas Association of Future Educators at the regional and state level.

Following the program, participating students will be invited to sign their CFISD letters of intent in the presence of family and friends. Letters guarantee signees an interview for employment with the district.

Over the last three years, CFISD has hired more than 150 teachers through its Grow Your Own program, including 59 new teachers during the 2021-2022 school year.
