🍎 Celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week at Pearsall ISD 💚🤍
Behind every lesson, every success, and every milestone is a teacher who believed, encouraged, and supported each and every day.
Our Maverick teachers are more than educators…they are mentors and role models. They are the heart of our district.
This week, we honor the difference they make in the lives of our students and our community. 🤘🏻

Congratulations to our staff members of the week
Mrs. Ibarra and Mrs. Aguilar

These two educational paraprofessionals support students with significant cognitive, physical, or developmental disabilities by fostering independence in daily living, social interaction, and functional academics. Working under teacher supervision, they implement IEP goals, providing hands-on assistance with personal care (hygiene, feeding) and behavioral support in special education classrooms. Thank for you all that you both do. We appreciate you!

Happy Principal’s Day, Mrs. Bass!

You truly go above and beyond every single day for both your students and staff at Pearsall High School. Your presence on campus is felt everywhere—from the classroom to extracurricular activities—and it means so much to see you supporting PHS in every way possible.

Your open-door policy creates a space where students feel heard, valued, and comfortable, and that speaks volumes about the kind of leader you are. We are incredibly grateful to have you at our campus.

Thank you for everything you do!

Weather Update for Pearsall ISD Families:

We know the heavy rain today has many of you concerned about afternoon dismissal. We want to reassure you that we are closely monitoring conditions. The rain is forecast to stop by dismissal time, and we will proceed with regular dismissal as scheduled.

Frio County Sheriff's Deputies will be monitoring our bus routes this afternoon to ensure every student gets home safely. Our drivers are experienced and will take every precaution.

Thank you for trusting us with your children. We will provide updates if anything changes. We Are Pearsall!

🍎🥪 Happy School Lunch Hero Day! 💚🤍
Today, we celebrate the amazing cafeteria staff across Pearsall ISD who serve our students with care and a smile each day. From preparing meals to keeping our cafeterias running smoothly, our School Lunch Heroes play an important role in helping our Mavericks learn, grow, and thrive.
