Q.M. Martin Stadium at Carthage Junior High will be closed to the public now through Sunday afternoon so our maintenance team can treat the area for fire ants and apply fertilizer. This work is being done in preparation for the start of the school year and to ensure the field is ready for use by our junior high athletes. We appreciate your understanding.


šØ Attention Carthage Community šØ
Please be advised that tomorrow and Tuesday (July 7 & 8), the Panola County Sheriff's Office will be conducting training sessions at Carthage Junior High.
You may notice an increased presence of law enforcement vehicles in the vicinity of the campus. We want to assure everyone that this is simply training and there is no cause for alarm.

šŗšø Reminder šŗšø All Carthage ISD campuses and the Administration Office will be closed next week.


Today we honor #Juneteenth, a powerful reminder of the end of slavery in the United States. Celebrated every June 19, the holiday originated in Texas, marking the day in 1865 when Union troops arrived and announced that enslaved people were finally free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1862.
Let us reflect on this important chapter in our nationās history. Happy #FreedomDay! š“š”š¢

š£ Weāre almost there, Bulldogs! 𤩠The last day of school is Thursday, May 22, with early release for all campuses! šš


Today we celebrated these five amazing nurses who care for our Bulldogs with compassion, strength, and love. Thank you for all you do! ā¤ļøš¾ Be sure to give them a shoutout below if you appreciate them as much as we do! š #SchoolNurseDay


šØ REMINDER šØ Today is the last day to vote early in the #CarthageISDBond election until 5 p.m. at the Panola County Courthouse.
š Polling locations for election day can be found at carthageisdbond.org/voting-information #CarthageISDBond2025


ā š«š°š« šš¶š¼ š²šµš¶š¾? Over the past five years, the Carthage ISD Board of Trustees has consistently approved a lower or unchanged tax rate each school yearāeven after voters approved bonds in November 2020 and May 2023. Since the 2020-21 school year, the total tax rate has decreased by $0.2972, with no increases. š #CarthageISDBond2025


You may notice the phrase "THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE" on the ballot for both bond propositions. We want to clearly explain what this means:
š¾ State law requires this specific wording on the ballotāeven though approving these bonds will not raise Carthage ISDās current I&S tax rate.
š¾ The districtās tax rate will remain the same, unless future economic conditions require an adjustment to repay bonds responsibly.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions that we can help answer.
Early voting is happening now, so we encourage our school community to vote! #CarthageISDBond2025
