The NBISD Education Foundation inducted three new members as Distinguished Alumni during its annual banquet that was held on Sept. 11 at the McKenna Events Center. This year’s honorees are Rocky Hill, Karen (Goff) Boyd and Scott Haag.
The three distinguished alumni were also honored during halftime at the varsity football game against Del Rio that was played on Sept. 13. Rocky Hill: Class of 1972 If you were lucky enough to be in New Braunfels on July 4, 2021 and saw the fireworks show, you were treated to an over-the-top fireworks extravaganza brought to you partly from a generous gift by Rocky and Joy Hill.
The donation was initially given in 2020 to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the founding of New Braunfels, but the onset of the COVID pandemic delayed the celebration. This gift to New Braunfels is just one of many given to New Braunfels and Comal County by Rocky and Joy. Rocky and Joy built a successful business, Rocky Hill Equipment Rentals, that has allowed them to give back to their school district and community.
Rocky’s family are fourth generation Unicorns — Rocky’s mother, Norma Jo Hill, daughter, Cristina, and grandchildren all went through the NBISD. In fact, niece Amber taught at New Braunfels and nephew Trent Wenzel, a 2011 Distinguished Unicorn alumni, both teach at NBISD schools. Rocky attended Seele Elementary, New Braunfels Junior High, and is a1972 graduate of New Braunfels High School.
He was involved with FFA, played golf, and was a roving de.
