Last December, we shared the Graduation Year Impact table seen below to help families begin processing upcoming transitions, ask questions, and build out our FAQs. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive—many parents have said the table is easy to follow once they know their child’s graduation year.

I recently sat down with our District Leadership Team to get the latest updates on the most common questions we’re hearing in the community and through our Just Ask Argyle portal.

This fall, the Argyle ISD Police Department is forming Campus Safety Committees at every elementary campus. These new groups will bring together parents, staff, and district police to collaborate on ideas that strengthen safety and build a welcoming environment for all students.

If you’re passionate about keeping schools safe and being part of a supportive community, this is a great opportunity to get involved. Committee members will share ideas, work alongside campus leaders and AISDPD officers, and help shape the district’s ongoing safety initiatives.

If you are looking for something fun to do on Friday night or Saturday, come check out the Argyle Theatre Department’s fall play.

The Theatre Department will host three shows starting with Friday’s performance at 7 p.m. They will also perform twice on Saturday at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

It was another busy construction morning Thursday at Argyle High School. This morning construction work included the use of a helicopter to lift and move AC units for the new Indoor Activity Center and the new Argyle ISD Stadium.

The helicopter landed around 7:30 a.m. near the baseball/softball practice fields at AHS in Canyon Falls and then began transporting AC units to the facilities. All practices were moved while this work took place and concluded just before the start of school.

Welcome to Your New Home, Gretchen & Bob!!

What a privilege it was to be part of this special day for our Silver Eagles and Veterans, Gretchen & Bob Evans, as they were gifted a new home in Harvest! Supporting them on 9/11 provided an unforgettable memory for our students and staff.

The event included a touching speech from Dr. Carpenter honoring these two heroes, who mean so much to our Argyle ISD community!

Gretchen shared this special message with Argyle ISD following the event: "You all are offering your students more than a first-rate education—you are giving them opportunities to give back to their community. You can’t teach that in a classroom. Bravo to you all for saying YES. I know it was homecoming week, and it took a lot to make it all happen.”
