HPISD Trustees Want to Keep Working For You
Leslie Melson and Jim Hitzelberger, the only two Highland Park ISD trustees whose terms are about to expire, have announced their intentions to seek re-election.
Hitzelberger joined the board in 2009 and holds the office of vice president. He is a 1974 graduate of Highland Park High School, where two of his sons are students. A third son attends Highland Park Middle School.
“It is an honor to serve HPISD and support the educational excellence that is a Highland Park tradition,” Hitzelberger said.
Melson joined the board in 2006 and was elected president in 2010. She and her husband, Jim, have four children who all graduated from Highland Park High School.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to give back to my community in this capacity and consider it a privilege to impact the success of our students,” she said.
HPISD trustees are elected at large and serve three-year terms. Municipal elections in the Dallas area will be held May 12. The deadline to file a candidacy is March 5.
