The Eagle Edge

As December arrives, I want to extend my gratitude to the Johnson City community for your continued support of our students, staff, and schools. This time of year reminds us how fortunate we are to live in a place where families, educators, and community members work together to create opportunities for our kids. Whether it’s attending events, volunteering, cheering on our students, or simply offering encouraging words, your involvement strengthens everything we do.

Our campuses have had a productive fall semester filled with academic growth, extracurricular success, and countless moments that make us proud to be Eagles. We look forward to carrying that momentum into the new year.

As we enter the holiday season, I wish each of you a safe, joyful, and restful break. Thank you for being an essential part of JCISD and for helping us continue to build a district grounded in small-town values and big opportunities for kids.

Middle School staff followed up the parent meeting with a student assembly on Friday, December 5th where they discussed digital responsibility. It was a great educational opportunity for parents and students, and we look forward to the next meeting.

The Soaring Eagle Award recognizes four staff members each nine-week grading period who consistently go above and beyond their daily responsibilities. Recipients of this award demonstrate exceptional commitment, loyalty, and dedication to Johnson City ISD.

These staff members make a lasting impact on students, colleagues, and the community by exceeding expectations, fostering a positive school culture, and embodying what it means to be an Eagle.
