Week of January 20

Celebrate Excellence - 
Safety is our Number 1 Priority

This past week, an anonymous message was sent to one student telling the student not to come to school. The anonymous message created concerns about the safety of our students. Currently, this is an ongoing investigation by the Carthage Police Department that will continue until the identity of the person who sent the message is revealed, and we will continue to support them in their investigation. If anyone has information about this incident, please contact the Carthage PD.

Carthage ISD will continue to provide an increased security presence to ensure that every campus is a safe place for all students and staff. Your child's safety is our first priority, and we will not tolerate any behaviors that jeopardize any child's safety. If you have questions or concerns, please know that you can always call your school's principal. We appreciate your support.

CISD will be closed on Monday, January 20 in honor of 

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Congratulations to our ALL STATE Band and Choir Members!
Hope Ratley (Senior) and Will Jackson (Junior) earned a position
in the All-State band. Nathan Strauss (Senior) became an All-State Choir
member for the third year in a row. 

#BeTheLIGHT - CISD Establishes Record-Setting Behavior

1st Grade enjoyed their trip to Sci-Port

For the first semester of the 2019-2020 school year, Carthage ISD set a record for the best behavior for the last 4 years.  Our entire district experienced the lowest number of referrals for disciplinary infractions.  The accomplishment speaks volumes about the great kids we have, the excellent rules and supports our students receive from our teachers and leaders, and the tremendous job our parents do every day to expect the very best from their children.  Congratulations to everyone!
