Our students are our most valuable resource. In recognition of that, Hays CISD provides a registered nurse at each campus and a LVN in addition at the high schools.  The school nurse serves as a liaison between school personnel, family, community and healthcare providers to advocate for student health and a healthy school environment.

We believe that parents are of primary importance in managing the overall well-being of students. We believe that a healthy child will be better prepared for the task of learning. We believe that all children should have access to health care when needed. We believe in the theory of Maslow’s hierarchy; that children must have basic physiological needs met in order to fulfill their educational, emotional and social potential. 

Our dedicated team of Nurses at Hays CISD have a combined total of more than 500 years of experience in nursing with almost 200 years in school nursing. We love our jobs and our students!
