Good News from Blackcat Field:
Construction crews have been working on site preparation and today concrete is being poured on the visitor side bleacher project. The progress has been excellent and on schedule to host our Class of 2024 Seniors on Friday, May 24th. The home side bleachers are set to be ready for the Blackcat’s first home football game.
With testing season upon us, MISD's Executive Team (Ryder Appleton, Brad Andrews, Shelli Killingsworth, LaKechia Johnson & Erica Chapa) treated our hardworking staff to a buffalo wing meal fit for a king. This homemade lunch was a labor of love by our leadership team complete with smoked/fried buffalo wings, sweet and salty waffle fries, five different scratch made sauces and two decadent dessert trifles. A special shout out goes to two of our board members (Lisa Lauderdale & Ron Fowler) who also came to help serve our staff.
It's a great day to be a Blackcat!

We sure do love our MISD assistant principals and librarians!!! They both constantly juggle an array of diverse responsibilities and help our campuses run smoothly. When you see yours, we hope you'll show them a little extra appreciation this week.
It is National School Librarian Day! Mrs. Porter has been a great addition to our library! She has an immense knowledge of library needs and loves getting books into our students' hands so they can enjoy an adventure! Thank you Mrs. Porter for all you do in our library and beyond!

Mexia ISD has declared April 8, 2024, a school holiday as a precautionary measure due to the expected impact of a full solar eclipse on Central Texas. Authorities support the closure of schools in the region on this day due to expected high volume of traffic and the load this may place on roads and communication infrastructure. Despite the closure, the MISD school calendar has enough instructional minutes. This means students do not have to make up for the missed day. Your child's campus may provide additional details, including instructions for the use of special glasses that have been provided for our students.
