Marble Falls High School Principal Patrick Hinson was recently named a 2025 Texas Music Educators Association distinguished administrator. He was recognized for the distinction at the Dec. 15 meeting of the Marble Falls Independent School District Board of Trustees meeting.
The TMEA distinguished administrator title is bestowed upon upper-level administrators across the state who go above and beyond in the preservation and furtherance of music education programs on their campuses and in their districts.
“I am very honored to receive this recognition,” Hinson said in an MFISD media release. “I truly enjoy supporting our students in all of their endeavors.”
The principal was nominated by MFHS Choral Director Bryce Gage.
“(Hinson) was regularly in the choir room listening to the students and encouraging them to be their best self,” Gage said. “He was not only present during class time, he also attended every performance and contest of the choral department, being the first person to congratulate the students on their presentations.”
TMEA Executive Director Joe Munoz also had high praise for Hinson.
“The students in the choir program know that Mr. Hinson is a part of our program, not just the principal of Marble Falls High School,” Munoz said. “He has been an encouragement and support of the choral program at MFHS, pushing us to be better today than we were yesterday. He is the perfect example of a TMEA Distinguished Administrator.”
