Cheek Middle School Band

It’s been a very busy season! Honors Band is gearing up for our National Concert Band Festival Performance in a few weeks. Special thanks to Alex Kaminsky and Robert Herrings for working with us!

Denton ISD is the second-largest employer in Denton County, supporting thousands of educators and staff who shape the future of our kids every day.

But here’s the challenge: our starting teacher salary is $2,645 LOWER than the regional average (see the chart below). That gap makes it harder to attract and retain the best teachers and staff for our classrooms.

Proposition A gives us a chance to invest in our educators and stay competitive with surrounding districts—because our students deserve the very best.

📊 Check out the salary comparison chart see why closing the gap matters.

Let’s stand together for our kids, our teachers, and our community.

Way to go Braswell High School Band! Best of skills in Finals!

Congratulations to the Braswell Band on their advancement to the finals round of the Bands of America Regional in Prosper! The B-Well Band will perform at 8:30pm at Children’s Health Stadium!
