EAGLE EXTRA!

The AHS Theatre Department is proud to announce that its fall production of Waiting in the Wings has been selected to perform at the 2025 Texas Thespians State Festival! This prestigious honor places our school among an elite group of only four productions chosen to perform at the largest theatre festival in the nation, with nearly 9,000 student attendees.

The Texas Thespians State Festival celebrates excellence in theatre education and performance, drawing students and educators from across the state for competitions, workshops, and auditions. In addition to performing Waiting in the Wings, our students will participate in college auditions, individual performance events, and technical theatre contests, showcasing their wide-ranging talents and dedication to the craft.

We are incredibly proud of our cast and crew for their hard work, artistry, and professionalism. Their selection is a testament to the passion and commitment they bring to every rehearsal and performance.

Please join us in congratulating the Waiting in the Wings company members and lead director, Hayley Harp, when you see them on campus and wishing them the best as they represent Argyle High School on the state stage!

Nothing quite like a good surprise! We delivered the big news by surprise to this year's three National Merit Semifinalists at Argyle High School! They were all in the same class, and it became the perfect setting.

Watch this fun video as Principal Shannon Knowles unveiled this year's recognitions and hear from the Eagle seniors!

Argyle ISD is excited to launch a new student recognition program called the High Flyers! This initiative celebrates students who go above and beyond by doing the right thing, showing kindness, helping others, and setting a positive example for their peers.

The first winners are...Argyle Middle School students Cayden Hughes, Carter Hughes and Cassidy Hughes. These three siblings, without being asked, assisted staff at the Homecoming Carnival helping cleanup the parking lots following the event, which was a daunting task.

The Argyle ISD Communications Department recently made a visit to the AMS campus and surprised the Cayden, Carter and Cassidy in their classrooms. They were presented with $25 gift cards of their choice for their acts of servant leadership!

Mad Scientist Day fun in 2nd grade!
