Tomball ISD Seeks Applicants to Fill Vacant Trustee Seat
Tomball Independent School District is calling on community-minded individuals to step forward and serve.

This appointed trustee will play an important role in helping guide the fast-growing, high-performing public school district that serves families across northern Harris and southern Montgomery Counties. The selected appointee will hold office until the November 2026 general election, when the seat will be placed on the ballot.
