Thank you, Argyle ISD Community!!
Argyle ISD has spent the past several weeks engaged in collaborative planning with campus principals and district leaders. Through a series of co-design meetings, we thoughtfully evaluated the strengths and potential of our rising leaders and reviewed organizational structures across all campuses—alongside a strategic restructuring of the district’s Special Education department. This process has reaffirmed our district’s strong culture of shared leadership and collective responsibility, all grounded in our enduring traditions and core values.
We are excited to share the outcome of this work and proudly announce the 2025-2026 Campus Leadership Teams, along with our new District Special Programs leadership team.
