Royal Superintendent Rick Kershner and CTE Director Ronnie Melton visited Emily Hillsman to thank her for her years of service to Royal ISD and to present her with gifts created by Royal CTE students. Emily served on the school board for 22 years, making a huge impact on Falcon students. She is a graduate of Royal and was active in band, choir, National Honor Society, and cheerleading. She is parent of two Royal graduates, and grandmother of 6 current, former, and future Falcons.
As a life-long resident of this community, she understands the challenges our district faces, but more importantly, she embraces the strengths of the district and the amazing opportunities available to our students. Her expertise in the area of school finance was especially beneficial to the district. We at Royal cannot thank Emily enough for her years of service, friendship, and dedication to our Falcon students.
