During the month of February, Argyle ISD campuses are celebrating Black History Month and learning more about the history and achievements of black leaders in U.S. history.

The campuses across the district are providing daily announcements, implementing videos, activities and lessons focusing on Black History Month and famous individuals and events. The libraries are providing books, read-alouds and virtual storytime on famous African Americans and their significant contributions to our world.

Students across the campuses are also doing a variety of activities including artwork and researching and writing biographies on famous figures.

The artwork of Argyle High School senior Adriana Saenz has received state recognition. It was chosen to be featured at the Texas State Capitol during the month of March as part of the Capitol Exhibit celebration Youth Art Month!

Congratulations to Adriana on this outstanding achievement! Her artwork was done with oil on a canvas board.

Amanda Mason and Tyler Lansberry have both been named Association of Texas Small School Band All-State! Amanda plays the contrabass clarinet and Tyler plays the trombone. Congratulations to these talented Eagles!

The night included a special message from Superintendent Dr. Telena Wright, School Board Vice President Dr. John Bitter and AHS Principal John King. Each member of these teams and groups was honored individually and the cheer and band also performed. Eagle football also honored its special individual award winners along with academic all-state.
