Celebrate Excellence - Parent Feedback Helps CISD Grow!

Congratulations to Raymond Thomas (left),
Carthage HS Band Director from 1975 - 1985,
and 1991-1992 who was named to the NAMMB
Hall of Fame on Saturday.

In CISD we aspire for excellence in all aspects of our district. From academics to athletics, from fine arts to food service, from transportation to technology and all programs in between, we want to provide the very best to our students. With that said, we can’t get better unless we know what doesn’t work well.

If you experience problems with things at the school, we encourage you to contact the best person to address your problem. If it’s academics, the teacher is the best person to contact. If it’s discipline or your child’s safety, the campus administrator is the best person to email or call. If the parent portal is not working for you, the technology department would be the best point of contact.  If you are not sure who to contact, you can call your child's school or central office at 903-693-3806.

We want to provide our students the best school district and parents the very best support. We only get better when we receive feedback from you. If you have a concern but never report it to the best source for fixing the problem, the problem will continue to exist for you. Please reach out to us. We are here to help you as well as your child.

The Ladydawgs are the Bi-District Champs!
