Corpus Christi ISD names King High School athletic coordinator/head football coach
Austin Menner has been selected to lead Richard King High School’s athletics program.
A former college football player at both the Air Force Academy and Abilene Christian University, Menner comes from a family of coaches and led the highest-scoring offense in Texas 5A football over the past two seasons.
Menner currently serves as co-offensive coordinator and assistant track coach at Roy Miller High School. Menner also served as co-offensive coordinator at South Garland High School.
He earned a Master of Science in sports administration – educational leadership from Southeastern Oklahoma State University, and Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of North Texas.
"The committee appreciated Mr. Menner's coaching experience and strong educational background," Superintendent Dr. Roland Hernandez said. "We are excited to welcome Coach Menner to the Mustang family and look forward to his leadership during this exciting time."
Corpus Christi ISD has named Dr. Aurelio Tamayo principal of Roy Miller High School.
His appointment in this new role comes after Sandy Salinas-DeLeon announced her retirement after 34 years in education.
Tamayo is currently the principal of Blanche Moore Elementary School. He has also served as an assistant principal at Hamlin Middle School and served as an administrator for the district’s Student Support Services department. Additionally, he has experience as principal of Banquete High School.
Tamayo earned his Master of Science in Educational Administration from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and a Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership from Lamar University.
He will begin his new role as principal of Miller High School in February. Michelle Perkins, who is currently assistant principal of Moore Elementary, will serve as interim principal.
“Dr. Tamayo exemplifies the strong leadership we continue to develop in CCISD,” said Superintendent Dr. Roland Hernandez. “His leadership and commitment to student success makes him an outstanding choice to lead the Miller community.”
We’re proud to have successfully renewed the CoSN Trusted Learning Environment Seal by

Corpus Christi ISD’s AVID program is growing, earning national recognition
Corpus Christi ISD shared updates regarding its participation in the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program, which has been a key component of the district's commitment to academic excellence since its introduction in 2008.
“AVID is not ‘another thing.’ AVID is what supports everything, said William Davis, Director for Advanced Academics, in a recent report to the district’s board of trustees.
Additionally, Zain Glover of Driscoll Middle School recently qualified as one of 100 AVID-certified educators in the U.S.
The district also has three AVID National Demonstration Schools: Cunningham Middle School at South Park, Kaffie Middle School, and Driscoll Middle School. This designation highlights CCISD’s commitment to excellence and student achievement.
AVID has been an integral part of CCISD for over 17 years, providing students with invaluable tools and strategies to succeed academically and prepare for their future. Currently implemented in 18 schools, the program continues to grow and evolve, with plans to expand its reach to the district’s newest middle school. Over the years, data has consistently shown that AVID students excel academically, outperforming their non-AVID peers on standardized exams and demonstrating higher levels of preparedness for college and career success.
“We’re not just teaching students how to succeed in school; we’re preparing them for life,” Davis said. “By expanding the AVID program and the professional development opportunities that it provides, we’re reinforcing the foundation of our educational system and ensuring that every student has the opportunity to thrive.”

🎉CCISD Named 2024 School District of the Year by National Hispanic Institute🎉
Corpus Christi Independent School District has been named 2024 School District of the Year by The National Hispanic Institute, highlighting the district’s success in developing student leaders.
CCISD earned this recognition through consistent commitment to student participation across NHI's three flagship summer leadership programs: the Great Debate, the Lorenzo de Zavala Youth Legislative Session, and the Collegiate World Series. These programs provide opportunities for students to create and advance their ideas, invest in themselves and gain confidence in making college the next step in their professional development.
The district's commitment has shown excellent results, with 98% of students enrolling in college and 90% graduating within five years.
The NHI representative nominating CCISD for this honor said, “They continue to invest in NHI learning for aspiring leaders of the future. When ISDs are facing lots of challenges evolving and the never-ending challenges of properly financing education, CCISD continues to understand the importance of doing its part to ensure strong student leadership culture and planting the early seeds for future civic engagement. This is the type of thinking ISDs rarely adopt in their planning.”
Since its founding in 1979, NHI has developed more than 100,000 leaders across the United States and internationally. The organization partners with educational institutions to identify and nurture future leaders who demonstrate potential for both professional success and community leadership.
Congratulations to our Buc Days Port of Corpus Christi Leadership Scholars - 2025 finalists! We are #CCISDproud of you! Scholarship winners will be announced in May.
