Tarkington ISD teachers:
This week we pause to intentionally deliver acts of kindness to let educators know just how much we appreciate their work…but the truth of the matter is we are grateful to have you everyday.♥️
EVERY interaction you have with students is important. Some even last for a lifetime. Thank you for answering the calling to teach because it’s not for the faint of heart.♥️
Thank you for seeing your students’ futures, sometimes even before they do. Thank you for all you do. We appreciate and celebrate you!♥️

The Tarkington Independent School District continually strives to use communication and instructional methods that best serve students and families. Technology and online tools play an increasingly important role in these functions. Tarkington ISD created this brief districtwide parent/guardian survey to better analyze how easily available technology and internet connections are at home for our children.

With less than 6 weeks left until the THS class of 2022 graduates, we thought it would be fun to share pictures of some of our TISD staff members their senior year. It has been so fun watching the kids try to figure out who is who. It’s even more fun to hear comments like, “You were pretty back then” and “You had more hair back then”. 😂😂 Parents, soak up these last weeks. They go by fast!


From our THS family to yours, we wish you a very Happy Easter!
