Tonight the C&I Department had the honor of visiting Rivas Cáceres and Salinas Elementary for Meet the Teacher Night: our legacy in action. Every day is game day, and our campuses showed up ready, welcoming students and families and kicking off the year with heart, energy, and pride. There is a buzz 🐝 in Donna ISD and you can feel the energy!

We’re back, and our Donna ISD educators came ready to learn, collaborate, and prepare for an incredible school year!

Over 900 educators came together for our Legacy in Action Summit with elementary educators at Veterans Middle School and secondary educators at Donna North High School.

The C&I Department along with some helpful colleagues proudly delivered 234 professional learning sessions designed to equip our teachers with strategies, resources, and instructional tools.

Now it’s time to take those "plays" from professional development to the classroom — turning learning into action and action into student success.

Thank you to every presenter, strategist, director, administrator, staff member, and educator who helped kick off the year strong.

The playbook is ready now it's time to run the play.
The team is ready.
Let’s put our Legacy in Action!
Every Day Is Game Day! 🏆

With recent rainfall across our area, staying informed is one of the best ways to stay safe. To support our Donna ISD families and community, we’ve compiled a list of trusted local, county, and state resources, along with official social media channels for weather updates, emergency information, road conditions, and community alerts. We encourage everyone to remain weather aware, avoid areas with standing water, and continue monitoring trusted sources for the latest information.

We are so proud! Congrats to Donna High School and all of our Donna ISD schools on your strong academic performance! 💪🎯

🏆 THE RESERVATION CONTINUES TO RISE! 🏆

The preliminary 2026 STAAR EOC results are in, and Donna High School students have plenty to celebrate! ❤️💛

This year, DHS students outpaced state growth in all five STAAR EOC subjects, with Biology leading the way with an impressive +16-point gain. These results reflect the hard work of our students, teachers, staff, and families, and they are proof that academic momentum is alive and well on The Reservation.

But our story doesn’t end with STAAR success.

This year, Donna High School also reached an important milestone with 30% of our senior class completing TSI requirements, opening more doors to college-level coursework and postsecondary opportunities. Even more exciting, we are on track to award nearly 60 Associate Degrees next year through our Early College program and traditional school, a testament to the dedication and determination of our students.

The Class of 2027 has already shown that they are capable of extraordinary things, and we know the best is yet to come. Our campus continues to raise expectations, break barriers, and create opportunities that prepare students for success beyond high school.

Our students are unstoppable, and we cannot wait to showcase their growth, achievements, and successes throughout the coming school year.

❤️ Every Child. Every Classroom. Every Day. ❤️
