A Message from Dr. Wright
What does the end of the 2020-2021 school year look like for Argyle ISD? And what does the beginning of 2021-2022 school year look like?
At Eagle Stadium on Tuesday, May 18, Argyle High School seniors will receive their diplomas. This is the 19th graduation for AHS, but the first at Eagle Stadium. The first 17 were held at the University of North Texas Coliseum. Last year’s graduation was held at Texas Motor Speedway. Masks will be optional at this year’s graduation for both spectators and our graduates.

Last year, a senior tribute parade was started and will continue this year along with the senior slideshow.
As for the 2021-2022 school year, we hope to experience it without masks.
Campus configurations will change somewhat in the fall. Hilltop will become a PreKindergarten-4th grade campus rather than PreK-3. Argyle West will become PreK-4th also rather than PreK-5.
Argyle Intermediate will have a new identity as the AISD 5th Grade Center. All 5th-graders in the district will be on the AIS campus. What a great opportunity for all 5th-graders to grow and learn together as they journey toward middle school.
Middle School will remain 6th-8th grade but will move to the current high school on Highway 377. High School will remain 9th-12th but will move to the campus on Canyon Falls Drive. The exchange will happen during the summer of 2021. The bond of 2017 was utilized to build Phase 2 of the high school. Phase 1 was built with 2014 bond funds.
A sixth campus is slated to open in 2022. This will be an elementary campus and configured for students PreK-5th. It will accommodate 850 students.
AISD is initiating an independent special education department this upcoming school year. Previously, the district has been a member of Denton County Special Education Coop.
Through challenging times this year, the students have excelled. Athletics, band, and academic competitions have been very successful. We are looking forward to an exciting new school year starting in August!
