Denton ISD and two of its middle schools have earned exemplary designations in the Texas Educational Theatre Association’s Awards of Distinction program, according to an Oct. 16 district announcement.
Crownover Middle School and Rodriguez Middle School received campus honors alongside the districtwide recognition. Denton ISD described exemplary as the program’s highest tier for both the district and the middle schools.
The district said the review examined the quality of productions, availability of scripts and facilities, administrative backing, use of theater technology and participation in competitive events. The association describes its distinction awards as recognition for institutions that strengthen theater education through achievement, resources, diversity and advocacy.
Denton ISD credited theater educators across its middle and high schools for the results. Superintendent Susannah O’Bara and Fine Arts Director Eddy Russell said in the announcement that the honors reflect the work of educators and students and the district’s commitment to performing arts.
