Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up next week! Help us spoil our staff and show them the love!

As we begin planning for next school year, we wanted to share the 2026-2027 Taft ISD Academic Calendar with all of our families and community members. The calendar can also be found on the website at www.taftisd.net

It's 7th grade's turn to shine! Their final STAAR test is tomorrow! ⭐️

Huge shoutout to Ms. Trevino, our amazing Administrative Assistant! She’s the engine behind the scenes keeping everything running smoothly on our fast paced campus. From juggling a million tasks to keeping us all on track (and sane 😄), she handles it all with grace, patience, and a whole lot of hustle. We are beyond grateful for everything she does for our campus each and every day. Thank you for holding it all together, Ms. Trevino… we truly could not do this without you! 💚🐾

📢Tomorrow!!

Our 6th graders are ready!! ⭐️👏🏻 Final STAAR test for the grade level is tomorrow!

Congratulations to our Taft HS Greyhound Band and Trevino JH Whippet Band who were recognized at our school board meeting this evening! Both bands earned straight Division 1 ratings in concert and sight reading contests. We are very proud of all band members and the directors for this awesome achievement! #TPND

Our Whippets and Greyhounds had an amazing time at Flute Day this Saturday at Texas A&M University–Kingsville! 🎶 Proud of our students for representing with talent, focus, and a love for music. Keep shining! 💚🐾

🌟You're Weekly Whippet Week at a Glance🌟

Ms. Vega's 7th grade students took part in an exciting and engaging class competition where each class became a district, working together to earn points through assignments, quizzes, and IXL progress. Students were randomly selected as tributes, and their effort and performance could help-or hurt- their district by protecting or costing lives. 🧐✏️ This challenge pushed students to stay accountable, support their team, and give their best effort every day. In the end, one district rose above the rest and earned victory (and pizza!) So proud of all their growth, teamwork, and determination shown by our students! 🍕👏🏻

Our 8th graders are about to make history!! Let's do this! ⭐️

The next two days are STAAR testing days for 8th grade. Be sure to be rested and be ready! ⭐️💪🏼

Another big day tomorrow for our 6th graders!! We know they can do this! 💪🏼⭐️
