Thank you to Coach Dillard and her volleyball team members, as well as Coach Reyes and his football team members, for helping make this happen for our Southside student. We also want to give a special shout-out to Palestine Sonic on the Loop for their generosity and support. Our community truly shows what giving is all about. Happy Holidays!

Christmas came early today in the Wildcat Nation as Mr. Marshall and team distributed retention incentive checks to our dedicated staff! These smiles say it all—thank you for your unwavering commitment, excellence, and service to our students and district. Your work truly makes a difference every single day. Moments like this remind us why we do what we do—for our students, our community, and each other.

Holiday Magic Across the Wildcat Nation

The most wonderful time of the year is here — and so are the incredible Holiday Fine Arts Programs happening across Palestine ISD. From theater to choir, band to dance, our students are shining bright all season long.

At Palestine ISD, Fine Arts isn’t just an event… it’s a commitment. Across every campus, our programs are valued, supported, and intentionally curated to give students meaningful opportunities to grow in their talents. These holiday performances are a showcase of that dedication — and a celebration of the creativity, discipline, and hard work our students bring to the stage.

Join us as we come together for choir concerts, band performances, theatre productions, and community showcases that make this season special for the entire district.

Swipe through to see all the holiday events happening throughout December across the Wildcat Nation.

The battle was on at Southside all day!! Teacher against teacher, para against teacher, staff against staff, just to see who would come out on top. The day finally came to an end with our victors being Mrs. Cook with 18 beads and Mrs. Whisenhunt with 9 beads.
