The awards were presented at a board of directors meeting on Monday, December 12, 2022.
Mr. Warner Ervin, interim superintendent of The Varnett Public School, presented the plaques to:

- Mr. Jesse Arps and Mrs. Cheyne Brown, Southwest and Early Childhood campuses, respectively, B rating (recognized)

The overall district rating was a B, based on a score of 89 from results of the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) tests taken by students in grades 3-8.
“We appreciate what they are doing and we know they will continue to strive for excellence,” Mr. Ervin said of the school leaders. “I want to thank you publicly and personally for the job that you’ve done.”
Dr. Matthew Plummer, president of Varnett’s board of directors, delivered this message:
“We only have one purpose, and that’s to take care of the kids that look like you and look like me,” Dr. Plummer said. “Remember, it’s not about you, it’s all about them.”
