He inspired our Carthage Junior High and Baker-Koonce students during several engaging assemblies and writing workshops, sharing his passion for storytelling and creative writing. 🖊️📖
We’re so grateful for this unforgettable experience that motivated our young writers to dream big and tell their stories! 💡🙌

Today, Carthage ISD Superintendent Jarrod Bitter joined fellow school leaders at the State of East Texas Education event in Tyler for a meaningful conversation on the current state and future of education. Bitter joined Dr. Marty Crawford from Tyler ISD, Lamond Dean from Chapel Hill ISD, and Stan Surratt from Lindale ISD on the panel. They discussed topics such as state funding, inflation, accountability standards and mandates, school vouchers, and teacher shortages. We’re proud to see our district represented in these important conversations, working to shape a brighter future for our students and community!
