To make the day’s announcements truly special, each honoree was celebrated at their home campus with a Prize Parade! The parade featured the district administrative team, Argyle Education Foundation, Communications Team, Jostens, Eagle mascot, AHS cheer, and AHS drumline, all joining the students and teachers of each honoree’s campus in celebration of them. A special treat included family members of each winner being able to attend and share in the pride and excitement of the occasion.
Each Teacher of the Year received a $500 check sponsored by Pogue Construction, cash prizes from the Lisa M. Z. Endowment Fund provided by the Argyle Education Foundation, bouquets and custom cookies from Argyle Party and Gift, and gift baskets filled with items sponsored by Eagle Partners. Additionally, they were surprised with "class rings" sponsored by Jostens, emphasizing the lasting impact of their dedication to education.
Congratulations to the Argyle ISD Soaring Star of February, Argyle Middle School Counselor Mrs. Holly Burleson. 💫
This is Mrs. Burleson's second year as a counselor at AMS and her sixth year in counseling. Those that nominated her say Mrs. Burleson goes above and beyond! She is the definition of the core value "respectful relationships." She is so intentional with 8th grade scheduling and places each kid in the best learning environment possible! When teachers bring her concerns about students, she springs into action to make the AMS community stronger and to cultivate positive relationships.
Thank you, Mrs. Burleson, for always making an impact in your students' lives and for continuing to Soar Higher!

Local professionals, ranging from police officers to firefighters, mobile groomers to race car drivers, and even construction workers, shared their expertise with our students. It was an inspiring and informative experience that sparked the children's curiosity about future career paths.
Huge thanks to all the professionals for their participation!
Our talented STEP students at AHS recently enjoyed a "pawsitively" great experience, baking homemade dog treats with just three ingredients: Oat Flour, Peanut Butter, and Pumpkin.
From precise measurements to mixing, rolling, cutting, and baking, these students showcased their skills and excitement! The treats are available for staff to purchase for their own four-legged friends. STEP class is taught by Coach Ben Rudolph.
If they place 1st, they will get a chance to go back to New York City to compete in Nationals. They are currently ranked No. 1 in Texas and 3rd in the Nation. Best of luck, Remedy!!
