When a student transfers to a new school, adjusting to the academic system can be overwhelming. For Argyle High School senior David Aiyeyemi, that challenge became the spark for something bigger — a mobile app designed to help students track their GPA and stay informed about district events.
“I didn’t understand the grading system when I first moved to Argyle,” Aiyeyemi shared. “Once I figured it out, I realized an app could be a great tool for both new and current students.”
Built entirely by Aiyeyemi using Swift — Apple’s native programming language — the app features a GPA calculator tailored specifically to Argyle’s grading system. Unlike generic GPA tools, this one accounts for Argyle’s unique calculations and includes a built-in calendar of district-wide events.
He prioritized usability and school pride in the design. “I used Argyle Eagle imagery and school colors—red and white—to make it feel familiar to students and teachers. I also made sure it worked in dark mode.”
Creating the app wasn’t without challenges. “I had never used Swift before, so I watched a lot of tutorials and leaned on advice from mentors. Developing the infrastructure supporting the app was another big hurdle.”

The artwork from senior art students was on showcase Wednesday at AHS! The campus hosted the first ever Senior Art Show in the cafeteria and it was opportunity to feature the creative talents of the AHS Art Seniors.
Each student had their own table to highlight their work throughout the year. The event was led by AHS art teachers Tanya Kosla and Sherry Higgins.
Wednesday night Argyle ISD held a special night of celebrating excellence across the district! The Spring School Board Recognitions Night included more than 150 students, teachers and staff being honored!
The event recognized academic, extracurricular and community award winners along with campus teachers of the year, counselors and Soaring Star winners. We would like to thank all our students, teachers and families who attended! The School Board recognition nights are held twice during the school year to honor outstanding achievements in the district.

This week Argyle ISD welcomed its new leadership teams at Hilltop Elementary, West Elementary and the Sixth Grade Center by hosting Meet & Greets on the campuses!
These provided great opportunities for families, students and staff to meet and visit with the new leadership teams for the 2025-2026 school year. They were excited to meet our Eagle families and are ready to begin preparations for next year.
The new campus leadership teams include:
Hilltop Elementary: Principal Holly Williams, Assistant Principal Hillary Laird
West Elementary: Principal Katie Haydin, Assistant Principal Paige Krause
Sixth Grade Center: Principal Heather Van Noy, Assistant Principal Chandler Putman
It's pretty amazing to see our Argyle High School students mentoring our youngest Eagles at the elementary campuses. Today was a shining example of their impact as several AHS art students visited Argyle West Elementary's second grade students to show them the special surprise they've been working on!
The high school art students used drawings from the second grade students to create sculptures of their original artwork. West students created animal drawings and the high school students turned them into three dimensional ceramic sculptures!
It was a fun collaborative event that was organized by AHS art teacher Sherry Higgins and West art teacher Amber Bridges.
