Today was a proud day for Judson ISD Athletics!

Four and a half years ago, we launched our MAD Campaign—Making A Difference—with one goal in mind: to teach our student-athletes that true leadership is measured not only by what they accomplish in competition, but by how they serve others. Community service has become a cornerstone of our mission to develop Future Ready Leaders.

That same year we began supporting the incredible work of SA Sports through their iPlay program. What started as a partnership has grown into a culture of service for our coaches and student-athletes.

Last year, San Antonio Sports asked me to identify a district leader who could help expand our volunteer efforts. Choosing that person was easy. Coach Theresa Urbanovsky has poured her heart into this work, and because of her leadership, Judson ISD Athletics was recognized today as the 2026 Volunteer School District Partner of the Year.

This award belongs to every coach and every student-athlete who has given their time to serve our community. You have shown what Ubuntu truly means:

“I am because we are.”

Service isn’t something we do—it’s who we are.

Thank you to San Antonio Sports for believing in our students and providing opportunities for them to make a lasting impact.

I couldn’t be prouder to lead a department that continues to be a shining light for our district and our community. Congratulations, Coach Urbanovsky, and thank you to every coach and student-athlete who chooses to make a difference every day.
