The community is now invited to submit nominations to name the Seguin High School Baseball & Softball Complex or parts of it.
The district’s Board of Trustees approved plans to begin accepting nominations at the Aug. 27 regular board meeting. The complex is under construction on E. College Street, behind Seguin High School.
Voters supported the construction of the complex as part of the 2023 bond. It will replace the high school’s more than 20-year-old softball field and eliminate the baseball team’s need to play home games at a city-owned field off-campus. The softball and baseball fields will share a common ticket booth, restrooms, and concession stand.
Nominations must be in writing and include a succinct description of the nominee’s contributions, why they are important, and any pertinent history that should be considered. No more than three pages of supporting documentation shall be included for each nomination.
Petitions cannot be considered per board policy.
The school facility may be named for any person, living or deceased, provided that the name has a special significance or the person has made an outstanding contribution to the school or the district. Trustees will evaluate the person’s contribution in the field of education, extraordinary contributions to the civic life of the community, state, or nation. Also considered are recommendations by an individual, family, or organization that has donated property or funds for the construction of an educational facility in Seguin ISD.
Trustees will consider all nominations that meet the aforementioned criteria by the deadline. Nominations must be submitted by Sept. 30, 2024, at 4:30 p.m. to sisd@seguin.k12.tx.us or via mail or in person at Seguin ISD Central Office, 1221 E. Kingsbury St., Seguin, TX 78155.
