Good evening, there are lots of questions about COVID-19. The image addresses how you can prevent the spread of the virus. We are monitoring the situation and taking all precautions to keep our students and staff safe. We are disinfecting our classrooms and will be doing a deep cleaning over spring break. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your campus principal or district administration.

Carthage ISD celebrates Black History Month by recognizing Mr. C.G. Bowie. Mr. Bowie began his path to a career in education by majoring in music at Prairie View A&M College in the fall of 1949. In 1953, his education was interrupted when he was drafted into the United States Army. After serving two years overseas, he was discharged and completed his degree in music. Upon graduation in 1956, Mr. Bowie was hired as band director at Turner High School. During integration in 1970, Mr. Bowie transferred to Carthage High School as assistant band director and remained there until his retirement in 1991. After retirement, Mr. Bowie continued judging marching and concert band competitions. However, his influence went beyond music education and into the community he loved. Mr. Bowie served on several boards and commissions as well as within his church. In 2013, Mr. Bowie was honored as "Man of the Year." The next year Mr. Bowie went to be with his Savior. As part of a series honoring former CHS band directors, The CHS Battlin' Bulldog Band premiered "Bowie's Tribunal," a march composed by Dr. Timothy Rhea on May 27, 2017.
