So many back packs. Quite a few hugs. Maybe a tear or two.
The 2025-2026 school year officially begins today, and this video highlights those first moments of the doors opening at three McKinney ISD campuses: McKinney High School, Valley Creek Elementary and Evans Middle school. Keep your eyes peeled: in the middle of all the students, teachers and parents featured in the footage, you’ll spot Principal Dr. Paula Kent, Principal Dr. Ebonee King and Principal Melissa Hernandez.
