Smithville ISD

Pep Rally fun yesterday to celebrate the last home basketball games of the season! We heard from two of our Senior players, and Mrs. Berry "won" the pie in the face by receiving the most student votes! The Lady Tigers will be advancing to the playoffs! They play Monday, February 12th, at 6:30pm at Rice Consolidated-Altair against Houston Yates. Come out and support our Lady Tigers!

Several of our students had the opportunity to participate in ESC Region 13's "Thank You Notes" project and tell why they are thankful for the teachers at SISD! It was a really great experience, and they did such a great job. You can watch the finished product here: https://bit.ly/495XAXV Thanks to Region 13 for creating this for SISD! We love our teachers!

Smithville High School's Computer Science CTE Pathway offers students the chance to graduate with college credit or career-ready certifications in computer science and cybersecurity thanks to Ms. Mary Alice Castello and her partnership with Microsoft’s TEALS Program. She also helps students learn critical soft skills like collaborating and advocating for themselves both in the classroom and through the award-winning Tiger Trons robotics team and the brand new "Girls Who Code" club! Ms. Castello’s work was recently featured on FOX 7 Austin, and we’re so proud of her dedication to her students. Please join us in thank her for her hard work! https://www.fox7austin.com/news/smithville-high-girls-who-code-club-computer-science #TigerPride
