Luis Hernandez stands behind a sign and waits to surprise his kids while they are being interviewed.
His three children in school are a part of Grand Prairie ISD. Arianna Hernandez is in 2nd grade, Giovanne Hernandez is in 4th grade and Viviana Mondragon is in 9th grade.
These three thought they were being interviewed today for a story related to siblings who all are in the same school district.
One of the district members brought them into a hallway at Marshall Leadership Academy, sat them down in front of a sign and started asking them questions. Hernandez then stepped out from behind the sign and surprised them. All three kids jumped up and hugged their dad.

MARSHALL Â Part of building a strong community is encouraging leadership and getting people involved, Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce president Brad Gruhot said. With those goals in mind, the Marshall Area Chamber is bringing back the Marshall Leadership Academy program. Starting this fall, participants will learn about different areas of Marshall’s community and economy, and get hands-on experience working on a community project.
The idea behind the Leadership Academy is to get some new people involved in the Marshall community, as well as to retain potential community leaders, so “They feel like they’re part of the community,” said MACC marketing director Erin Raveling.
