Full Press Release below:

The Hollister R-V School District presented the City of Hollister with its November Community Spotlight Award at the recent board of education meeting for its ongoing support and partnership. Dr. Jared Terry, High School Principal, and Mr. Mark Waugh, PK-5 Principal presented the award on behalf of the district.

Dr. Terry expressed gratitude to the City for their unwavering commitment to the school district and for their help each year with the Homecoming parade and bonfire. "I don't know many communities in which the city will close the street through their downtown to allow students to have a parade and bonfire right in the center of town," Dr. Terry said. Mr. Waugh shared that there is rarely a school event in which the city is not involved. "It might be Ms. Kathy, volunteering at every school event or Ms. Denise serving as treasurer of the Hollister Schools Foundation," Waugh said, "or department directors and their employees showing up to Welcome Wave or volunteer for Night of the Tiger."

Dr. Terry and Mr. Waugh both reaffirmed that Hollister is truly a special place and that the people at the City of Hollister are integral in making it so.
