🎺 Argyle Band WINS UIL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP! 🥁
STATE CHAMPIONS! The Argyle Eagles band captured the Class 5A UIL Marching Band title with an incredible performance of Theia's Light this week at the Alamodome in San Antonio!
It marked Argyle's 9th State Championship, tying Cedar Park HS with the most in the state regardless of classification.
Argyle also became the FIRST band in the state to win the championship in four different classifications (2A, 3A, 4A, 5A). As the district grows, Argyle's commitment to excellence remains in place!
Through countless hours of preparation, dedication, teamwork and a commitment to excellence, these talented student musicians delivered an outstanding performance on the state’s biggest stage. This was the ultimate reward for the tireless work and dedication that started in July!
Congratulations to our student musicians, directors, staff, families and everyone who supports the Argyle Band. Your hard work and passion continue to make our district and community proud!

🐝 ICYMI: Debate Student's "Bee Bill" Reaches Regional Competition
Argyle ISD is proud to celebrate the hard work and achievement of Argyle High School senior Hadley Harris, whose original bill, “The Bee Bill,” was selected as one of just 12 bills from across ESC Region 11 to advance to the UIL Congressional Debate Regional Competition.
Hadley’s bill would encourage farmers to plant pollinator-friendly seeds to help protect bees and other pollinators while giving farmers more choices in the seed marketplace. His selection recognizes his creativity, critical thinking and dedication to debate. As a member of Argyle’s seven-student Congressional Debate team, Hadley may even have the opportunity to debate his own bill at regionals. Congratulations, Hadley!

Argyle ISD Wellness Corner
Recognizing Stress in Children and Teens
Stress does not always look like worry. In younger children, it may appear as irritability, stomachaches, sleep difficulties, or changes in behavior. Teenagers may become withdrawn, unusually frustrated, or overwhelmed by academic and social expectations.
Parents can help by maintaining predictable routines, listening without immediately trying to solve every problem, and encouraging healthy coping strategies. When symptoms persist or interfere with school, friendships, or daily activities, professional support may be appropriate.
