McDade ISD -

Are you a 6th - 12th grader interested in joining the Track and Field team? Please join us Thursday, February 12th at 5:30 pm in the High School Bistro to discuss the future of the team! We look forward to seeing you there!

McDade ISD has just significantly increased its medical care capabilities. Public Safety Chief Nick Teague has just achieved becoming a Licensed Paramedic and Sergeant Sara Allen has just achieved becoming an Advanced EMT. These are the two highest levels in prehospital emergency care which can be obtained. This adds Advanced Life Support skills to better serve our students and staff during medical emergencies or injuries. Be sure to say hello when you see them with their medical bags at our athletic events!

Yesterday we celebrated 100 Days of School at our elementary campus!
From counting to 100, creative projects, and lots of smiles, our students showed how much they’ve learned and grown. We’re 100 days smarter and still counting!
