Azle Independent School District may soon have some of the strongest pre-K students around — at least, that’s the eventual goal for athletic director Michael Sain.
During the AISD board meeting June 15, Sain presented his annual athletic report to the trustees, explaining that the department's mission is to develop students into “champions for life” — something he plans to do for every student as the district moves into the 2026-27 school year.
“The biggest thing that we have to remember is that we’re trusting these sons and daughters to develop into champions for life … We’re trusted with the most precious thing day in and day out that our families have, and with that comes a certain responsibility that we must live up to,” Sain said. “We need to create a product that is second to none across any place whatsoever, and when people are looking, they’re looking at Azle for the way athletics should be done.”
