Taft ISD

Summer School begins on Tuesday, May 26th, at the Taft High School campus for all students. Information will be sent out by campus for students who are required to attend. Please contact your campus principals for more information.

On Wednesday, we had the honor of celebrating our seniors at College Signing Day—a moment that marks the beginning of their next chapter.

Thank you to our students for your hard work and determination, and to our parents and families for your constant support along the way. We also want to recognize our staff for the time, encouragement, and guidance you give our students every day to help them reach this milestone.

A special thank you to the college recruiters who took the time to attend and be part of this celebration. Your presence helped make the day even more meaningful for our seniors as they take this important step toward their futures.
We are proud of each and every one of you, Greyhounds. The future is yours—go make it happen! 🐾
