Taft ISD Communication Device Policy for 2025-2026

Taft ISD, along with all Texas school districts, are implementing policies in response to Texas House Bill 1481 which prohibits use of communication devices in schools during the instructional day. We ask parents to talk to their children about this new policy to prepare for the upcoming school year. Parents can contact administrators at Taft High School, Ricardo L. Treviño Junior High School or Woodroe Petty Elementary for questions about this policy.

Join us on Thursday at 6:30 PM in the High School Gym for our Community Pep Rally. Let’s pack the stands and show our school spirit.

After the rally, head over to the stadium for the Burning of the T – a tradition you won’t want to miss.

Parking Notice: Please park in the main high school parking lot. The back lot near the gym will be closed for construction. Some parking will also be available near the stadium entrance.

Fans can enter the pep rally through the Krumnow Center.

Let’s come together, cheer loud, and light up the night.
