Celebrating Excellence and Dedication in Round Rock ISD

This May, we were proud to sponsor two special events that celebrated the outstanding educators and staff who make Round Rock ISD such an exceptional place to learn and work.

The Excellence Awards recognized the remarkable contributions of our district’s employees. During this memorable evening, 56 teachers, 56 paraprofessionals, and 9 principals were honored for their dedication and impact on students. It was a wonderful night celebrating the excellence, passion, and commitment of the incredible staff who serve Round Rock ISD every day.

We were also honored to sponsor the Annual Employee Service Awards, which recognized employees for their years of dedicated service to the district. The event celebrated 102 retirees, as well as 94 employees with 20 years of service, 37 employees with 25 years of service, 7 employees with 30 years of service, and 3 employees with 35 years of service. The evening was a meaningful opportunity to thank these individuals for their lasting contributions and unwavering commitment to our students, schools, and community.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all of our partners whose sponsorships helped make these events possible. Together, we are proud to recognize and celebrate the outstanding people who make Round Rock ISD a place of excellence.

Thank you to our Sponsors!

Grants in Action:

From Books to Gardens to Sewing Needles

At Forest Creek Elementary, a PIE Foundation grant is helping students grow socially, emotionally, and academically through innovative small-group counseling opportunities. Through engaging activities in the Book Club, Sewing Club, and Garden Club, students are building essential life skills, strengthening peer connections, and gaining confidence in supportive, hands-on environments. Read on to see how this investment is creating lasting benefits for students, staff, and the entire school community. Here is what they have to say:  

“The PIE Foundation grant has had a meaningful and lasting impact on students and staff at Forest Creek Elementary by expanding access to intentional, skill-based small group counseling experiences. Through the Book Club, Sewing Club, and Garden Club, students were provided with safe, structured environments to practice emotional regulation, build positive peer relationships, and develop a stronger sense of belonging. The hands-on nature of each group increased student engagement and allowed for authentic application of social-emotional skills such as patience, empathy, cooperation, and problem-solving. As a result, students demonstrated improved coping strategies, increased confidence in social settings, and stronger connections with their peers. Additionally, teachers reported noticeable improvements in student behavior, collaboration, and classroom participation. Staff also benefited from having targeted support for students with social-emotional needs, allowing for a more positive and productive learning environment campus-wide. The materials purchased through this grant will continue to support future groups, ensuring the sustainability and continued impact of this initiative for years to come.”
