I am pleased to share with you that last night the MISD board of trustees approved a couple of new Blackcats for the 2023-2024 school year.
Mr. Marcus Wilson is returning home to MISD as the new Sims Intermediate Principal after serving as an Assistant Principal for many years in the Waco area.
Mrs. Belinda Cotton continues serving the students and staff of Mexia ISD and will be the new Assistant Principal for McBay Elementary.
Congratulations to both of these outstanding people! It's a great day to be a Blackcat!
Congrats to our Staff of the Month for May 2023!
