PHOTOS: Chapel Hill Red Devils break ground on 2024 bond projects
MOUNT PLEASANT, Texas (KETK) — Chapel Hill ISD, located in Titus County, broke ground on Monday for their bond projects that passed in the May 2024 election.
UPDATE: Chapel Hill ISD passes $9.3 million bond
Last year, voters approved a $9.3 million package to improve several facilities on campus, including a new elementary gym and classrooms, an expanded agricultural mechanics building and enhanced safety features for the junior high.
During Monday morning's ceremony, Board President Joey Lewis said, 'As we continue to modernize our campus, the project that we're starting today will be a pivotal piece for the kids that come through this school district in the future. As a parent of four children at this school, I see the importance of the new gymnasium and other projects going on at this school and I'm excited to a part of the change.'
'Through research, discussion and identifying district needs, a solid plan was developed allowing the district to address both immediate and future needs, while being fiscally responsible to our community and stakeholders.'
Daniel Pritchett, superintendant of schools
'Chapel Hill ISD is here because of the dedication of its citizens. Many an individual fought to keep the doors of our district open. They saw the importance of education. As goes the school, so goes the community. Through the vision and perseverance of both our school board and community, we are planting the seed for a tree that many of us will never get to bask in its shade,' Pritchett said.

4 Gulf World dolphins adjust to Clearwater Marine Aquarium, 7 still await relocation
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (WMBB) – On Wednesday, June 4, News 13 broke the story about the four Gulf World Marine Park dolphins being relocated to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. Crews arrived at Gulf World around 11 p.m. Tuesday, loaded up the animals and headed south. They arrived in Clearwater around 11 a.m. E.T. Wednesday morning. All the rough-toothed female dolphins appeared to immediately take to their new surroundings. The staff in Clearwater set benchmarks for the dolphins to gauge how they are adjusting. On Friday, June 6, they told local officials all four of the animals blew away those benchmarks and are 'thriving' in their new home. 4 Gulf World dolphins moved to Clearwater Marine Aquarium As for the seven remaining bottle-nosed dolphins still at Gulf World, local officials told News 13 they are still waiting on the results of some tissue and fluid tests done within the last week. The results will determine if the dolphins are healthy and able to be placed with other dolphins. Once they're medically clear, they'll be transferred to another facility that has yet to be confirmed. Some in the decision-making process don't want them to go to another 'Dolphin Company-owned' facility. They point to the fact that the company is currently in bankruptcy proceedings and the poor conditions at Gulf World. Five dolphins have died at Gulf World since October 2024. The public outcry is responsible for the relocation of all of the marine animals. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
