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! 🌻🩺

Congratulations to our last several Wildcat Staff Members of the Week! Southside is so thankful for their hard work, positive impact, and the way they show up for our students and each other every day.



🍎🐾 Happy Principal Appreciation Day to the incredible leaders of Wildcat Nation!
Today we celebrate the principals who lead with vision, serve with heart, and work tirelessly each day to support students, staff, and families across Palestine ISD. Their dedication helps shape the culture, success, and spirit of every campus.
From early mornings to late evenings, they are problem-solvers, encouragers, mentors, and champions for children. We are grateful for all they do to make Wildcat Nation stronger.
👏 Help us celebrate our amazing principals by dropping a thank you, kind word, or shoutout in the comments below!
