We have expanded to include hundreds of employees, our own software platform and printing facility, and over 30 hyperlocal editions across the state with a circulation to more than 2.4 million residential mailboxes.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM DENISE: This month is our annual Education Edition, which is full of useful information for those who have children in the school district. Our front-page story focuses on how the Georgetown school district has made changes to their health curriculum for the 2022-23 school year. It is introducing a new course called Love146, which focuses on prioritizing students’ mental, emotional and physical health, safety and security (see Page 33). Denise Seiler, GENERAL MANAGER

FROM CLAIRE: I can’t believe it’s already August, which means it’s back to school for all of the students, educators and school personnel in our community. In this edition, we provide State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness test scores for every campus in the district. To check out how students scored at your school, look inside (see Page 27).

Our purpose is to be a light for our readers, customers, partners and each other.
