By a 6-0 vote, the Devine School Board approved an annual $5,000 stipend to support an academic liaison and recruit coordinator to better support student athletes in their continuing education beyond grade school.
The vote was taken Thursday during the board’s regular meeting for January.
District Superintendent Todd Grandjean said the goal for the new role “is to address a very real and current missing piece in the overall success of Arabian/Warhorse student-athletes – both academically and athletically – while ensuring students who aspire to compete at the next level are properly supported, informed and protected.”
The position is designed to strengthen accountability, close communication gaps and provide structured guidance through the increasingly complex college eligibility and recruiting process, he said.
This new role is being implemented at schools across the state, including nearby Lytle, Poteet and Jourdanton.

Brady Loeffler
Loeffler is a senior, graduating in May 2026. He is active in band and FFA. He has been a member of the band since 6th grade and served as section leader for the sax section.

I hope to pursue a career in large diesel mechanics and possibly return to our farming operation to work on equipment and keep our tractors running. I have grown up in the farming operation since I was little, driving tractors by age 5, so it is for sure in my blood,” said Loeffler.
He is the son of Mark and Kimberly Loeffler.

FCCLA Group is Teaching Local Kids to “Think Before You Click”

The eam during their presentation at the intermediate campus on December 4th.

Devine High School freshmen, Nayeli Muñoz and Collier Paige, have chosen internet safety as the focus for their FCCLA STAR (Students Taking Action for Recognition) event this year. The duo wants to educate students on the dangers of the internet and also teach them how to stay safe online.

The students began their project in October by creating an Instagram account to post information and helpful tips for their followers. In November, they stapled internet safety facts to candy and threw them from the float in the Fall Festival parade.  On November 21st, Muñoz and Paige presented to Ms. Beaty’s classes at the middle school. The team created a slideshow presentation on the dangers of the internet and ways to stay safe, and then played a game that reinforced these ideas. Overall, they taught 104 students.

On December 4th, the two FCCLA members taught 153 3rd- and 4th-grade students the same topics.  Using the same slideshow and a different game focused on the younger students, the team members helped answer questions and point out dangerous situations during their presentation time.

Muñoz and Paige have also hung flyers at the middle school and high school campuses to encourage the students to follow their Instagram account and to keep safety tips in view for the students to see daily. Starting this week at the high school, they will begin to have a weekly announcement in the morning called “Tech Tip Tuesday,” which will explain ways for students and staff to keep their accounts safe and to avoid dangers on the internet.

When asked why they chose this topic, Muñoz explained that they have noticed that kids at younger ages seem to be on electronics more.  Paige added that many of the really young kids play online games such as Roblox and Minecraft, and do not think that they could be in danger because it is a game. So the two of them decided that they needed to help educate them and decided they should educate their peers, as well.  Many older kids do not realize ways to keep their accounts safe, so the duo decided that this should be highlighted, as well.

Devine FCCLA travels to the Region V Conference in Corpus Christi, Texas, to compete on January 29-31.

Two new candidates for the Devine ISD school health advisory council (SHAC) were put forward during the council’s annual report to the school board Monday evening.
Devine High School nurse Joslyn Wilson sought approval for Patricia Garcia and Gina Morales to join the advisory council.
“Every independent school district is required by law to have a school health advisory council of which the majority of members must be parents who are not employed by the school district,” Wilson said. “The SHAC is annually appointed by the local education agency board of trustees.”
