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.

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.

Thank you for the countless ways you serve our schools with kindness and heart. Wildcat Nation is better because of you. 🩺✨

🧪🔬 Real-World Science in Action at PHS!
AP Environmental Science students are diving into toxicology by investigating the effects of alcohol on redworms to better understand LD₅₀ (lethal dose) and how substances impact living organisms.
Through this hands-on lab, students are exploring how scientists determine toxicity levels, analyze data, and make connections to environmental and human health.
Learning goes beyond the textbook in Wildcat Nation—our students are engaging in meaningful, real-world science that prepares them for college and careers.

Southside Elementary staff enjoyed a wonderful potluck picnic! Our maintenance man, Byron White, and our school resource officer, LaMorris Marshall, grilled up some delicious burgers while our staff brought all the amazing side dishes, dips, and desserts.
Time spent together like this reminds us what a special team we have at Southside. It truly feels like family.
