Don T. Durham Intermediate School, Carroll ISD

What an incredible school year it has been! We are so proud of all of our Dragons and all they accomplished this year. Wishing each of you a fun, safe, and relaxing summer break filled with great memories. We can’t wait to see you back next year! 💚

Earlier this week, 6th grade students took part in the final round of their “Battle of the Books” competition. Teams competed against one another as they tested their knowledge of the books read for their ELA classes. Congratulations to the “Book your Jet 2 Holiday” group for winning this year’s championship! 💚

Congratulations to our May students of the month! These students were recognized for consistently demonstrating what it means to be a Dragon on F.I.R.E., exemplifying Durham’s core values of friendship, integrity, respect and effort. We are Dragon Proud! 💚

It’s the last Monday of the school year! Time flies when you’re having fun! 🤩 Tomorrow is a B Day so make sure your student knows where to go for Encore.

For our final Staff Spotlight of the year, we celebrate someone who wears many hats…Ms. Ray! She’s a leader, problem solver, organizer and guiding force. Your role requires balancing multiple responsibilities, often all at once, yet you handle every challenge with professionalism and grace.

Your steady presence helps make DIS a place where students can learn confidently and teachers can thrive. Your dedication, hard work and heart inspire those around you and strengthen the culture of our campus.

Thank you for the countless hours, unwavering commitment and positive energy you pour into DIS every day. Your leadership leaves a lasting impact, and we are truly better because of you!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of our DIS moms! Thank you for all you do! 💐
Tomorrow is an A Day. Does your student know where to go? Check with them to make sure! 😎
