YORKTOWN, TX — In a proud milestone for local education and community health, Yorktown Elementary School (Y.E.S.) has become the first campus in DeWitt County to earn the designation of a Healthy Texas Recognized School.

During Monday night’s Yorktown ISD school board meeting, County Extension Agent Denise Goebel presented the school with a banner, certificate, and formal proclamation on behalf of Rusty Hohlt, Director of Healthy South Texas with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service.

This honor reflects Y.E.S.’s strong dedication to promoting student wellness, good nutrition, and healthy lifestyle habits. The school’s efforts align with the broader mission of the Healthy South Texas initiative, which aims to enhance public health outcomes across the state.

The entire Y.E.S. community—faculty, students, and families—has been lauded for their commitment to fostering a supportive, health-conscious learning environment. The designation marks an exciting chapter for the campus, affirming its leadership in building a healthier, brighter future for young Texans.

Congratulations to Yorktown Elementary on achieving this distinguished honor.
