“This is a tremendous honor,” Briscoe said. “I’m thankful for the support of the office staff, faculty, administrative team, the Hallettsville ISD community, the people of Hallettsville, and especially my wife for supporting me in this role.”
Briscoe is currently in his third year as principal of Hallettsville High School and previously served as assistant principal for one and a half years. He has been part of Hallettsville ISD for 10 years, working in leadership roles that have shaped the school’s growth and success.
