Dickinson ISD recently hosted the district’s annual Blue and White Employee Recognition Banquet to recognize this year’s top teachers, substitutes, paraprofessionals, professional support, and support staff members of the year, as well as Dickinson ISD’s two principals of the year. In addition, retiring employees and those celebrating milestones in their years of service from 10-35 years, in increments of five years, were also recognized. The event concluded with the announcement of the 2023-2024 Elementary and Secondary Teachers of the Year.
