Happy School Lunch Hero Day to our incredible Mansfield ISD cafeteria teams!

Today is a national celebration to show appreciation for the hardworking individuals who keep our school cafeterias running every day. From preparing nutritious meals to creating welcoming spaces for students, our lunch heroes make a difference far beyond the cafeteria line.

Thank you for your dedication, your care, and the impact you make on every campus. We appreciate you today and every day!

The AVID Senior Recognition Ceremony, held at the Performing Arts Center, celebrates the accomplishments, perseverance, and future plans of AVID graduating seniors from all six MISD high school campuses.

The event honors students for their dedication to the AVID program and their strong commitment to college and career readiness. Seniors who have been part of AVID since 7th grade are recognized with the prestigious Bravo Award, and each campus selects a student who exemplifies leadership, determination, and character as their “Spirit of AVID” recipient.

In addition to these honors, many of our AVID seniors are awarded scholarships, recognizing both their academic achievements and the hard work they have invested in their future.

Beyond academics, the ceremony serves as a meaningful salute to the resilience, growth, and success of these students as they take the next step in their journey.

On School Principals’ Day, we celebrate and thank our incredible principals for the hard work and dedication they pour into their schools, students, and staff each day. Your leadership makes a lasting impact, and we are so grateful for all that you do. We hope you have a great day celebrating YOU!

Congratulations to Our StudentCam Winners!

Congratulations to 8th grader Shayaan Yousuf, who earned Second Place in the Middle School Division of C‑SPAN’s annual national video documentary competition, StudentCam. Congratulations as well to Colby Waters and Drew Pellerin from MISD’s Ben Barber Innovation Academy, who received an Honorable Mention for their outstanding work.

StudentCam encourages students to think critically about issues that impact their communities and the country. This year, students were asked to create a short video documentary related to the competition theme, “America’s 250th Anniversary – Exploring the American Story through the Declaration of Independence.”

Shayaan Yousuf’s documentary, “The Unfinished Promise,” examines how the Declaration of Independence’s promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness was tested during the Great Depression, renewed through Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, and continues to shape America’s ongoing struggle to create opportunity, dignity, and equality.

Colby Waters and Drew Pellerin’s film, “School Choice: Opportunity or Inequality,” examines the complex debate surrounding school vouchers, questioning whether they expand educational opportunities or deepen inequality for families who cannot afford private schooling.

We are proud of these students for their creativity, thoughtful research, and commitment to telling powerful stories about America’s past, present, and future.

Due to anticipated severe weather, all after-school activities occurring after 4:30 p.m. will be canceled today. All campuses will dismiss at their normal times, and ACE and Quest after-school care will continue as scheduled. Student recognitions scheduled for tonight's board meeting are canceled and will be moved to another date. Thank you for your patience as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff.

Tomorrow, April 29, is ‘We Are MISD – All In’ Day!

Everyone is encouraged to wear an MISD spirit shirt with jeans. These days are held on Wednesday after a regular board meeting.

Post your selfies on social media using the hashtag to show your district pride!
