Week of February 10

Celebrate Excellence - UIL Competition

This week, I would like to celebrate all of the wonderful things happening in our district on the field, court or academic competition.  In the slide show below, we have listed all of the UIL Academics individual and team winners as of this week.  We are so proud of our kids and their coaches for all fo their work preparing our students to excel in competition.

Congratulations to Taylor Kenderdine
All-State Artist for the 3rd year in a row!

In athletics, our Varsity Girls Basketball is currently in first place in district with a 5-1 record and an overall record of 16-10.  They have made huge improvements this year under Coach Johnson.  Our Boys Basketball program is continuing to dominate in district with a perfect 5-0 district record and 9-1 overall record under Coach Tucker.  Our Varsity Girls Soccer program under Coach Whatley has made a huge turnaround this year, and they have an impressive 12-2 record heading into district, and Coach Watson has our Varsity Boys Soccer team playing well with a 6-4-5 record as they head into district.  Please come out and support our athletes.  We have a game every Tuesday or Friday.

Finally, we need to recognize Taylor Kenderdine for her amazing work as an artist.  The Youth Art Month Top 100 Artists for the Texas Capitol Exhibit has been released, and for the 3rd year in a row, Taylor has earned the honor of All-State Artist!  Her work will be on display at both the Bob Bullock Museum and the State Capitol. A reception will be held on March 22 in honor of these amazing artists.  We are so proud of her and thank her for being an amazing student who represents Carthage ISD so well.

Funds from the last maintenance bond were used to purchase new furniture 
for selected classes at the Junior High.

Funds for the proposed bond would be used to continue
upgrades to our furniture at all campuses.
