-- Mr. Nick Heupel Named Lone Finalist for Superintendent of TCISD --
The Throckmorton Collegiate ISD Board of Trustees is pleased to share that during a special called board meeting on April 8, 2025, the board voted unanimously in favor of naming Mr. Nick Heupel as the lone finalist for the position of Superintendent for our district.
With over 21 years of experience in education, Mr. Heupel brings a wealth of knowledge and dedication to the role. Mr. Heupel is a proud graduate of Tarleton State University, having earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the same institution. Throughout his career, he has worked predominantly in 1A and 2A districts, where he has demonstrated his commitment to student success and community involvement.
For the past 7 years, Mr. Heupel has served at May ISD, first as Secondary Principal for four years and most recently as Superintendent for the last three years. His leadership, vision, and focus on student achievement have made a lasting impact on the May ISD community, and we are confident that his skills and passion will continue to foster excellence within our district.
On a personal note, Mr. Heupel and his wife, Jill, will celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary this June. Jill currently works for Howard Payne University. Together, they have two children: Seth, a graduate of Texas Tech University, and their daughter Madelyn, along with her husband Josh, who live in Hinton, Oklahoma, where they serve as Youth Pastors.
We look forward to the future of our district under Mr. Heupel's leadership and are excited to welcome him as our next Superintendent. In accordance with state law, a 21-day waiting period must occur before Mr. Heupel can be officially hired as Superintendent. During this time, the community is encouraged to share any feedback regarding this decision.

TCISD's new driveway coming off College Street has officially been approved for use! This means that starting immediately, all morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up will happen in front of the new school.
All traffic will enter the new driveway off of College Street and head north toward the new school. The pick-up and drop-off zone is directly in front of the new school main entry doors. Please stay in a single file line and be patient with this new process. All vehicles are required to depart from the school by way of the road that goes down the hill past the ag building and out to Reynolds Street. The service driveway to the north of the new gym is off limits to all traffic from this point forward and is reserved for our district route vehicles.
Please follow the map provided. Blue arrows represent the flow of traffic. The yellow box is the drop-off and pick-up zone. The red Xs mean to stay off of the driveway to the north of the new gym. That area is reserved for district route vehicles only.
Please contact the school at 940-849-2411 with any questions that you have.
