The Eagle Edge

As we move further into the school year, our students and staff are settling into their routines, and our campuses are finding their rhythm. The excitement and busyness of the first few weeks have given way to the important work that takes place in our classrooms each day.

A new school year always brings adjustments. We welcome new students, learn new routines, and work through the challenges that naturally come with getting everyone settled. I appreciate the patience, flexibility, and teamwork our staff and families have shown throughout this process.

As we continue through the year, our focus remains simple: put students first. Every decision we make should be centered on providing our students with a safe, supportive environment where they can learn, grow, and be successful.

There are many great things happening across Johnson City ISD, from the classroom to athletics, fine arts, and extracurricular activities. I encourage our families and community members to stay involved, attend events, and continue supporting our students and staff.

Thank you for your continued support of Johnson City ISD. We are looking forward to a great year ahead as we continue Soaring to Excellence!

Go Eagles!

Johnson City ISD is partnering with the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office to provide an important educational opportunity for our middle school and high school students and families.

As technology and social media continue to play a significant role in the lives of young people, it is important that students and parents understand the responsibilities and potential risks that come with using electronic devices and online platforms. Representatives from Law Enforcement Agencies will be on hand to provide an educational presentation focused on internet safety, social media, responsible electronic device use, and the potential consequences of inappropriate online activity.

Similar presentations have been offered in the past and have received positive feedback from students, parents, and community members.

The presentation will be held on Wednesday, September 23rd, at 6:00 p.m. at LBJ Middle School. The presentation is expected to last approximately one to two hours.

We encourage our middle school and high school parents and students to attend. Keeping students safe in an increasingly digital world requires a partnership between our schools, families, and law enforcement, and we appreciate the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI for helping provide this valuable educational opportunity to our community.

It’s Homecoming Week at Johnson City ISD, and we are excited for a great week of celebrating Eagle pride, tradition, and community! Students, staff, alumni, families, and community members are invited to join us for the activities taking place throughout the week.

The celebration starts Wednesday, September 16th, with our Community Homecoming Pep Rally at Eagle Field. A pulled pork sandwich supper will begin at 6:00 p.m., with proceeds benefiting the Johnson City Community Education Foundation. The Community Pep Rally will follow at 6:30 p.m. Come out for supper and stay to help us cheer on the Eagles!

Homecoming Friday, September 18th, will be a full day of Eagle spirit. We will kick off the day with our District Homecoming Pep Rally at 9:40 a.m. in the LBJ High School Gym. Students and staff from across the district will come together to celebrate our Eagles and get ready for the big night.

The Lady Eagles volleyball team will take on Wimberley at 4:30 p.m., followed by the Eagles football team hosting Comfort at Eagle Field at 7:00 p.m.

Halftime of the football game will feature two special Homecoming traditions. We will crown the 2026 Homecoming Queen and King and host our Celebration of Decades, recognizing LBJ High School graduating classes ending in “6.” We look forward to welcoming our alumni back to Eagle Field and celebrating generations of LBJ Eagles.

Homecoming Week is a special opportunity to bring our schools and community together and celebrate the traditions that make Johnson City ISD special. We hope to see Eagle Nation out in full force throughout the week!

Go Eagles!

On October 16th , JCISD, in conjunction with the Johnson City Police Department, will host a National Night Out event. The City of Johnson City is coordinating with several local and regional agencies to have representatives and displays set up in the LBJ Middle School parking lot for our community to visit prior to the football game. Following National Night Out, JCISD will host First Responders Night at Eagle Field. Prior to kickoff, we will recognize and honor the first responders who serve and protect our schools and community. We look forward to a great evening that brings our community together while showing our appreciation for the men and women who serve Johnson City and the surrounding area.
