The Eagle Edge

It is hard to believe we are already in November! The school year is moving quickly, and there is so much to be proud of across Johnson City ISD. From accomplishments in the classroom to success in athletics, fine arts, and extracurricular activities, our students continue to represent our district well.

One of my favorite parts of being superintendent is spending time in our classrooms and visiting with students and staff. These interactions remind me that the most important work we do happens every day in our schools. I am grateful for the dedication of our employees and the continued support of our families and community.

As we approach Thanksgiving, I encourage everyone to take time to slow down, enjoy family and friends, and reflect on the many things we have to be thankful for. Thank you for your continued support of Johnson City ISD and for helping make our district such a special place.

Superintendent of Schools

Johnson City ISD was honored to bring together students, staff, veterans, and community members for our annual Veterans Day program. The morning was a special opportunity to recognize and thank the men and women who have sacrificed so much in service to our country. Our students did an outstanding job with their performances and tributes, making the ceremony a memorable occasion. We are grateful to all the veterans who joined us, everyone who helped make the program possible, and the LBJ Elementary PTO for providing a wonderful breakfast for our honored guests.

Johnson City ISD will hold a special Board of Trustees meeting on Wednesday, November 18th, at 6:00 p.m in the JCISD Boardroom. A public hearing will be held to discuss the LBJ Elementary Targeted Improvement Plan, which will be submitted to the Texas Education Agency (TEA). The plan focuses on improving student achievement and strengthening instruction. Families and community members are encouraged to attend and provide feedback.
