Taft ISD is excited to kick off the new PREP Mentorship Program, Texas Mentorship Training in preparation for the 2026-2027 school year. Taft ISD is partnering with ESC-2 to develop strong mentorship systems to support new teachers, increase teacher retention, and improve student achievement.

District and campus leaders have successfully participated in the first design session, where teams began building systems and structures to support effective teacher mentoring programs. Texas Mentorship Training, a Texas Education Agency initiative, empowers districts to strengthen support for new educators, enhance teacher effectiveness, improve retention, and ultimately promote student success.

Due heavy rain forecasted for Tuesday (6/16), summer school classes will be canceled for Petty Elementary and Trevino Jr. High students. Taft HS students will report at 10 AM for scheduled EOC testing.

Come join our Greyhound team!
