One of the oldest Elementary schools in San Angelo, the iconic entrance to San Jacinto Elementary is still reminiscent of its rich history and provides a legacy which shapes the campus's future. In this week’s San Angelo ISD Campus Spotlight, we invite you to walk through the years of San Jacinto Elementary and how this campus's history has propelled them into the campus they are today. 

San Angelo ISD has teamed up with Whataburger to encourage families to complete student enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year in the next few weeks. After completing your enrollment online at www.saisd.org, whether verifying a current student or registering a new student, families can pick up a coupon for a FREE Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit with the purchase of a honey butter chicken biscuit* at the front office at their student’s campus through the last day of the school year or at the SAISD Administration Building at 1621 University Avenue between 8am and 5pm, Monday through Friday (while supplies last, up to 10,000 district-wide and one per student enrollment completed). For families who have already completed enrollment prior to the announcement of this opportunity, parents or students may go by their campus office to request the coupon during normal hours or you may pick up your Whataburger coupon at the SAISD Administration Building.
