🖤❤️ MLK Day ❤️🖤
Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. — a leader who stood for justice, unity, courage, and hope.
As we reflect on his powerful message, we are reminded that every student has a voice, every person has value, and change begins with kindness, respect, and doing what’s right.
Let’s continue to lead with love, serve others, and work together to make our school and community stronger.

January is School Board Appreciation Month, and we’re so thankful for our Mexia ISD Board of Trustees: Ron Fowler, Jackie Craig, John Bonner, Marty Cargile, W.H. (Bill) Lowry, and William T. (Bud) Shamblin.

Today and all month long, we say THANK YOU to them for their leadership, commitment, and heart for students. Your work matters, and our Blackcat Family is better because of you!
