Palestine Independent School District

Recently, Palestine ISD was awarded the 21 st Century CCLC grant from TEA. The grant provides resources to maintain afterschool programs to eligible students at five PISD campuses. Campuses included in the program are: Palestine High School, Palestine Junior High School, A.M. Story Intermediate School, Southside Elementary School, Northside Elementary School. Programs will be open Monday through Thursday after school. Each campus will be open at times deemed appropriate based on campus need. The purpose of the program is to ensure that students graduate and are ready for college and/or career. The four components included in the program will be academic support; enrichment opportunities; family engagement and education; as well as college/career preparation. This exciting, new program will provide students opportunities to participate in activities such as art, music, theatre, film-making, photography, science, cooking, homework support, and tutoring. In addition, parents will have opportunities to improve their own knowledge and skills through classes such as helping students with homework, learning English, and parenting through our Parent University.
