We are happy to announce that South Texas ISD (STISD) is a National School Boards Association (NSBA) 2023 Magna Award winner. STISD was recognized for its commitment to innovation as a winner in the 29thannual awards program, and is one of 18 winners — three Grand Prize winners, nine Silver Award winners, and six honorable mentions — across the nation receiving this honor.
We thank you again for your patience today as we worked with law enforcement to address a situation we had at our Preparatory Academy campus and our Edinburg complex. We know there are rumors circulating on campus and outside of STISD regarding what happened, and we want to make sure our community is informed on the facts regarding the incident.
There was a suspicious incident at our Preparatory Academy campus just before 10 o’ clock a.m. today. Out of an abundance of caution, we immediately placed the school on lockdown and worked with our local law enforcement to ensure all students and staff were safe and secure. The lockdown has been lifted, and we are releasing students whose parents wish to pick them up early.
Congratulations to Mateo Boyer-Paulet who was our top tutor this academic year! Thank you Mateo for helping your peers!
Congratulations to senior Rodrigo Maldonado who successfully completed his full welding certification! He is our first full-time student to do so! We are proud of you Rodrigo!
