Today marks first day of school for Seguin ISD students

(Seguin) – It’s back to school today for the Seguin ISD. Students and staff will tackle day one of the 2023-2024 school year.

The anticipation and excitement for today began brewing on Friday afternoon as the school district’s 1,100 employees gathered for this year’s convocation at Seguin High School. Complete with Matador band music, confetti and spirit stick competitions, the event helped to officially welcome the start and return to the classroom for Seguin ISD employees.

Pleased with the energy that teachers, bus drivers and all other employees absorbed was Superintendent Matthew Gutierrez.

Gutierrez says being witness to those high levels of energy and optimism makes him excited for the upcoming school year.

“I have chills right now because I feel like every year, we have the best convocation and there is so much spirit and positive energy, but this year is not like any other and if you had the opportunity to come to a convocation, I don’t think you’ve seen the amount of spirit that you saw today. Every campus just came energized, enthusiastic – they came in costumes, with themes and they are excited to see our kids,” said Gutierrez.

Included in that energy were lots of laughs and plenty of things to think about thanks to this year’s guest speaker Dr. Adolph Brown best known nationally as “Doc Brown.”
