Strawn High School Prom will be Friday, May 20th, at the Strawn Lexington Events Center from 7:00 - 10:00 PM.
Thank you to the Palo Pinto Retired Teachers Association for gifting our 1st, 3rd, and 5th grades with a book of their own and for helping foster a love of reading in our young minds. We enjoyed watching them pore over the numerous choices to select their favorite. Many students began reading before they even got back to their classroom!
Please visit our Facebook page for more photos!
Don't forget! There will be a Booster Club meeting today at 4:00 PM, in the Strawn ISD Cafeteria. Everyone is welcome!
Last night, Strawn ISD staff had the privilege to listen to two wonderful speakers from Celina ISD. Nancy Alvarez & Jeanne Juneau spoke on work/life balance and maintaining a Professional Quality of Life. Staff learned the symptoms of compassion fatigue and how to utilize self care to repair and refill our "emotional tank"! Thank you to these lovely ladies for your words of encouragement and kindness!
Please Help Support Our Lady Greyhound Softball Team! Thank You Gordon Hardware for this Great Donation!!
The H.S. District Track Meet Has Been Moved To Wednesday, April 6th.
You're invited to join ESC Region 10 and ESC Region 11's first ever Virtual College Access Week!
Dallas/Fort Worth area high school students and parents will have the opportunity to learn about the college admissions process and meet college representatives. Join us for live sessions on Admissions Workshops, Financial Aid & Scholarships, Virtual Campus Tours, and Campus Life & Student Organizations.
Throughout the week, students can chat with admissions reps, schedule meetings, and watch on-demand videos. Unlike a traditional college fair, you can join online at anytime throughout the week and learn more about your future college options!
LIVE SESSIONS: 11AM-2PM and 5-7PM each day
Due to weather this afternoon, the decision has been made to postpone the JH District Track Meet to April 11th.
Our One Act Play has advanced yet again! Congratulations!
