Against the backdrop of a beautiful spring evening, MISD leaders gathered on Thursday, April 10, at the McKinney ISD Community Event Center with teachers, administrators, family members and community leaders for one of the most highly anticipated events of the school year—the MISD Teacher of the Year Dinner.
The annual Teacher of the Year Dinner is a celebration that brings together the 31 most outstanding teachers from across the district, chosen by their colleagues for their dedication, passion and innovation to represent their campus as exemplars of the profession.
We appreciate and honor our 2025 Teachers of the Year in this tribute video.
Today we are talking with our current school board president, Philip Hassler. We will learn more about Mr. Hassler as he discusses his work and family background as well as his experiences with the McKinney ISD Board of Trustees. Tune in!

Serenity High is a small school that makes a big difference. If you didn't know it was there, tucked away on the south side of McKinney North High School, you could easily miss it. But, for the students who have attended Serenity, this small high school has had a huge impact.
On April 8, McKinney ISD officials and community members came together at the MISD Community Event Center for the annual Serenity High Fundraising Breakfast to support, celebrate and reflect on the work of Serenity.
The event raised $41,000 for Serenity—one of the very few public recovery high schools in the country.
