Clear Creek ISD trustee earns master title

Ann Hammond, a Clear Creek ISD Board of Trustees member, earned the designation of Master Trustee on June 15.

Ann Hammond, Board of Trustees member of the Clear Creek Independent School District, earned the designation of Master Trustee on June 15, according to a release.

Hammond earned the designation after completing Leadership Texas Association of School Boards, a program sponsored by the TASB.

"The year-long program was an incredible learning experience and being able to visit school districts across Texas was so enlightening," Hammond said in the release. "Of particular interest to me was that no matter the size of the district, if there was a high level of parental involvement, student achievement was evident."

Composed of 31 school board members, the class researched topics related to non-traditional approaches to challenges in today's educational enterprises.

Research topics included college readiness, student health, board leadership, funding inequities, 21st-century classroom adaptations and parental involvement.

Hammond and her group were selected as one of four projects to be presented at the TASA/TASB Convention in September.
