EAGLE EXTRA!
Home of the latest news, photos & videos in Argyle ISD
Argyle ISD has created a website with all the important information for the upcoming school year. From school supplies, to Meet The Teacher Nights, calendars, bus information and more!
This week Argyle ISD welcomed more than 80 new teachers and staff for New Eagle Academy at AHS! The new hire orientation is held over three days and helps our new Eagles get more associated with the district.
All the new Eagles were welcomed by the AHS drumline, AHS Cheerleaders, Majestics Drill Team and Eagle mascot! They were also welcomed on the first day with a bunch of fun freebies provided by our Eagle Partners!
Over the course of the three days the welcome included meeting district and campus administrators, learning more about the district processes and training. The new Eagles also had special time designated to get to know each other better at the campuses with fun team-building activities.
Argyle ISD's Learner Services department leads the event each year with great success!
#TogetherWeSoar! Argyle High School Dual credit instructors spent two days this week preparing for the 2024-2025 academic year. They learned about updates to the program, revised the syllabi for inclusivity, planned courses, and learned about AI tools to use in the classroom.

Throughout five legislative sessions in 2023 in Texas, our leaders have failed to agree on legislation that would fully fund Texas public schools. We need action and we need it now. Please join us in asking our legislators to prioritize public education funding!
Presently,
- Argyle ISD is one of few districts in the state that has received the Formula Transition Grant since 2019 and faces a significant funding cliff beginning with the 2024-2025 fiscal year when FTG expires,
- Argyle ISD is subject to losing approximately $250,000 via the Robin Hood formula of “recapture,”
- There has been NO CHANGE to the basic allotment despite 40-year record inflation.
- Argyle ISD, like most school districts in Texas, is struggling to provide meaningful raises to our teachers.
