Today, we remember.
On Patriot Day, we honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and recognize the extraordinary courage and sacrifice shown by first responders and ordinary citizens on that day and in the days that followed.
September 11 is also Texas First Responders Day, giving us another opportunity to thank the firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMS professionals and other first responders who serve our communities every day.
TCISD remembers those we lost, honors those who serve and expresses our gratitude to the first responders who stand ready when we need them most. #NeverForget

💇♀️✂️ La Marque High School Cosmetology and Barbering students got a behind-the-scenes look at the professional salon industry during a visit to Farouk Systems today.
Students experienced firsthand what goes into creating many of the products and tools used every day in salons. They saw how bottles are manufactured, learned about the chemical processes behind styling products and watched assembly lines in action as products were packaged and labeled.
The visit also gave students a closer look at Farouk’s commitment to quality and safety, including products and tools that are not tested on animals, as well as the educational resources the company provides to beauty professionals.
Experiences like this take learning beyond the classroom and salon, helping students see the science, manufacturing, innovation and career opportunities that are all part of this industry.
What an eye-opening day for our future professionals! 💈🧴🔬

🌟 Heights Elementary has been named a National Bright Spot! 🌟
Heights Elementary keeps producing results, and people beyond Texas City ISD are taking notice!
Heights has been named a National Bright Spot by The 74 for beating the odds in third-grade literacy. 📚👏
The national nonprofit education newsroom analyzed nearly 42,000 schools across the country to identify schools where third-grade reading performance significantly exceeded expectations based on student poverty levels.
✨ Bright Spots represent the top 5% of schools in their state for outperforming those expectations.
That’s something worth celebrating!
This recognition reflects what happens when high expectations meet great teaching, hardworking students and a school community committed to helping every child succeed.
Congratulations to Principal Sarah Furman, our third-grade teachers, students and the entire Heights Elementary team! Your hard work is producing results, and we are incredibly proud! 🎉
