Horns Up Half Hour

We visited with Cedar Hill Mayor Stephen Mason, a Class of 2000 Cedar Hill High School Graduate and a current CHISD parent. We discussed several topics including Mayor Mason's time as a CHISD scholar, the strong partnership between CHISD & the City of Cedar Hill, social justice, COVID-19 and more.

On this episode of the "Horns Up Half Hour", we visit with Cedar Hill ISD Education Foundation (CHEF) Executive Director Denise Root and CHEF Board President Monica Kinney. We discuss their recent fundraising efforts, future plans and the strengthening of CHEF's relationship with CHISD.

Cedar Hill High School Head Softball Coach Jennifer Davis graduated from CHHS in 2004 and was a leader on the Lady Longhorns' best softball team in school history. They reached the Regional Championship Game in the spring of her senior year. Davis earned a Division I softball scholarship to the University of Texas-El Paso.

Sixteen years after graduating from CHHS, Davis has returned to Cedar Hill as the head softball coach and business teacher.

Cedar Hill ISD Chief of Police James Hawthorne is our guest on the podcast.

Our first guest is CHISD Superintendent Dr. Gerald Hudson, who is approaching his one year anniversary with the District. Dr. Hudson and his Cabinet have been busy planning for the upcoming school year. While that is usually a challenging task, the unprecedented COVID-19 Pandemic has made it exponentially more difficult. We will discuss the CHISD Blueprint - the plan to open our schools up.
