What happens when an object is at rest—and a force is applied? Coach Hernandez’s seventh-grade science students explored Newton’s First Law of Motion hands-on, learning to use a dynamometer and measure force as they tested their ideas. Science in action at PJH! #palestinetx #palestine_isd #wildcatnation

🏗️ Bond 2025 Update | Progress You Can See! Big things are happening across Palestine ISD as our Bond 2025 projects continue to move forward! At Palestine Junior High, roofing improvements are underway, while Southside Elementary is seeing exciting progress with road and traffic improvements that will enhance safety and accessibility for our students, staff, and families. These projects are made possible through the dedication of our incredible Palestine ISD Maintenance Department working side-by-side with skilled contractors. We’re especially proud to partner with many local businesses while also welcoming specialized contractors from outside our community whose expertise is helping bring these projects to life. And we’re just getting started… 🔹 Next up: New air conditioning units arrive at Palestine Junior High. 🔹 Coming next week: Big things are happening at Palestine High School—stay tuned!

Exciting Progress at Palestine Junior High!

The first phase of construction is officially underway as we begin important improvements to the Palestine Junior High campus. This phase includes:

• New windows on the backside of the building
• Roof improvements
• New HVAC units

These upgrades are just the beginning of the transformation as we continue investing in facilities that better serve our students, staff, and community.

Please note: The Palestine Junior High building will be closed during construction to allow crews to safely complete the work.

We are excited to see the improvements take shape and look forward to welcoming students and staff back into an updated learning environment. We will keep everyone informed regarding the building reopening date through:

• ParentSquare
• Palestine ISD Social Media Platforms
• www.palestineschools.org

Thank you for your patience and support as we build a better tomorrow for Wildcat Nation.

Congratulations to Mason Veillon and Ethan Thomas on their commitment to serve in the United States Marine Corps. We are proud to celebrate these Wildcats as they take the next step in serving our country. 🇺🇸

One of the most meaningful traditions of the year for Palestine High School’s Top Ten Percent graduates is the annual Educators of Influence Tour, sponsored by the Palestine ISD Education Foundation.
Before crossing the graduation stage, these seniors travel across Wildcat Nation to personally thank the educator who made the greatest impact on their life and future. Each student presents a handwritten note and special sign as a symbol of appreciation for the teacher who helped shape who they are today.
From elementary classrooms to high school hallways, these moments are powerful reminders that great educators do far more than teach lessons — they change lives, inspire dreams, and leave lasting fingerprints on the hearts of students. ❤️🐾
The relationships built in Palestine ISD truly last a lifetime.

Wildcat Nation, help us welcome a familiar face back to Palestine ISD! Tonight, the Palestine ISD Board of Trustees officially approved the hiring of Coach Ty Robinson as the new Head Football Coach for Palestine High School.
Coach Robinson brings more than 27 years of coaching experience to Wildcat Nation and is known for building tough, disciplined, and winning programs rooted in hard work, accountability, and strong relationships with student-athletes.
Many in our community may already recognize Coach Robinson, as he previously served as Defensive Coordinator at Palestine ISD from 2010–2013 before moving on to successful head coaching positions across Texas.
Most recently, Robinson served at Crawford ISD following an impressive tenure at Woodville ISD, where he led the Eagles to an 80-28 record and a state championship appearance in 2024. Throughout his career, he has built a reputation for high energy, physical play, player development, and creating a championship culture both on and off the field.
Coach Robinson has shared that his goal is to build a program centered on effort, unity, discipline, and pride while helping student-athletes succeed in every aspect of life.
Welcome back to Wildcat Nation, Coach Robinson!

Mrs. Calhoun’s 8th Grade Honors ELA students wrapped up 8th grade by writing, designing, and creating their very own books. Each student became both an author and illustrator, and the finished projects truly showcase their creativity and hard work. Such an amazing end to their 8th grade year!

Today, we celebrate the incredible nurses of Wildcat Nation. ❤️🐾 From scraped knees to serious concerns… from comforting anxious students to supporting staff and families… these amazing women are often the calm in the chaos and the caring hearts behind our campuses each day. Their compassion, patience, and dedication go far beyond the nurse’s office. They help keep Wildcat Nation healthy, safe, and cared for — one student at a time. Thank you for the countless ways you serve our schools with kindness and heart. Wildcat Nation is better because of you. 🩺✨ #NurseAppreciationWeek #WildcatNation #PalestineISD #SchoolNursesRock

Happy Nurses Day to the very best, Mrs. Wheeler! Southside is beyond blessed to have a nurse who cares for our students and staff with so much love, patience, and compassion every single day. From tummy aches and bandages to hugs and reassurance, she does it all with a smile. Thank you for keeping our campus healthy, safe, and cared for. We appreciate you more than words can say! 🌻🩺
