🎉 Congratulations to Zoey Davis! 🎉
We are incredibly proud to announce that Zoey Davis has earned the National Speech & Debate Association’s Academic All American Award! 🌟
This prestigious honor recognizes exceptional students who excel in academics, speech and debate competition, leadership, and character. Out of more than 141,000 student members nationwide, fewer than 1% receive this distinction each year, placing Zoey among the top student debaters in the country! 👏
To earn this award, students must complete at least five semesters of high school, achieve the degree of Superior Distinction (750+ merit points), meet rigorous GPA and test score standards, and demonstrate outstanding personal excellence.
Please join us in celebrating Zoey’s incredible achievement and her dedication to the art of communication and leadership. 🏆

Questions about AP and Dual Credit GPA Weight?
Senate Bill 1191 is a new state law that allows the Texas Commissioner of Education to create a standardized way to calculate high school grade point averages (GPAs) across the state. The goal is to ensure fairness and consistency, especially when it comes to giving extra weight to more rigorous courses like advanced placement courses, honors courses and dual credit courses.
Under SB 1191, these courses will receive additional GPA weight. Importantly, the law says that AP and dual credit courses (that are not part of the Workforce Education Course Manual) must be weighted equally.
What This Means for Hallsville High School Students:
At this time, the Commissioner of Education has not yet finalized the new GPA calculation method. Until those guidelines are officially put in place, Hallsville ISD will continue using its current GPA calculation policies as outlined in the course guide.
We will keep parents and students informed about any changes once the Commissioner provides a clear plan. Our goal remains the same to ensure all students are treated fairly and have their hard work recognized, especially in rigorous academic courses.
