Summer School information is below:
Ladies and Gentlemen,
After watching the weather we have decided that the threat of lightning has forced us to move graduation to the Pirate Center. Doors will open to guests at 7:45 and the ceremony will begin at 8:30. Remember you must have a ticket to enter the gymnasium. We will live stream the event to the Theatre at the High School for those without a ticket.
On the weekend of May 5th, Keaton Duncan competed for the Texas State Championship for Tetris at the Arlington E-Sports Stadium as well as their Tetris Open Tournament. This tournament was held by the UIL sponsor, Vanta. He obtained first place in both competitions and was awarded both a State Championship trophy and Tetris merchandise. He will continue his education at Kilgore College and also compete in ESports there.

"Everyday at Pine Tree ISD, we're teaching kids how to think, not what to think. We’re teaching kids how to rise to expectations not make excuses on why they can't. We’re teaching kids how to make good choices and good decisions so they don't have to endure a lifetime of pain for making poor decisions. We’re teaching kids you've got to put in whatever amount of work it takes to get the job done because you can't sit around and wait for someone else to do it. Basically, we are teaching kids how to be successful adults.” Steve Clugston, Pine Tree ISD Superintendent https://youtu.be/iNS3mLjsaJ8?si=pjwHkN1XvQJa-5Qc

Today is School Nurse Appreciation Day!
School Nurses are strong, yet compassionate. They often walk with determination, yet have the gentlest touch. They are educators as they are always willing to teach and share their knowledge. They are good listeners and always seem to be there when you need them.
Thank you to our district nurses for taking care of our Pirates every day and the impact you have on their lives.
