Message from our
Superintendent:
Jason Marshall
• The Palestine Police Department in conjunction
with Palestine ISD presented a program
celebrating the importance of Black History in
the PHS Auditorium on February 25th. Guest
speakers, Constance Hollie-Jawaid, City of
Palestine Chief of Police, Mike Anderson, and city
council woman Vicky Chivers shared their
inspirational stories. Thank you to the band
Gospel Heirs, and the PHS Wildcat Choir for
their performances. We appreciate Courtney
Acklin and Bernadette Capron for organizing the
event.
• Palestine High School Career and Technical Education students recently won first place after
producing and entering a video in the SkillsUSA Lowe’s Social Media Challenge. Their video
highlights the importance of the Hope Station, a ministry in Palestine dedicated to helping those
in and around Anderson County. The Hope Station is located in one of Palestine’s historic
buildings which the students have been helping to renovate. The students will receive an award
of $25,000 for winning the challenge, which they will use to help out with needed renovations
at the Hope Station. These students are learning real world work skills and are enjoying being a
part of something bigger than themselves. • Northside Primary first grade students are learning to read using The Daily 5 method which was
implemented this year. The components are: Read to Self, Read to Someone, Word Work, Work
on Writing, Listen to Reading. Students love building reading stamina during Daily 5.

• The Palestine ISD Board of Trustees adopted a
resolution at the February school board
meeting to celebrate Texas Public Schools, so I
would like to invite our parents, grandparents,
and family members to join Palestine ISD in
celebrating Texas Public Schools at your child’s
school during the months of February and
March. Printing and Imaging Technology:

development beneficial for students. • Thank you for all you do!

Palestine Athletics
Softball • Varsity Lost 1-19
Highlights of the game:
Infinity Morrow had the only hit of the night and the only score.
Ashlynn Hillstead had a great catch in centerfield.
Saraya Tiner had a sacrifice hit and pick off at 3rd base. • Coach Chapa: This was the first time that our girls have had to play in tough weather conditions.
They learned that we have to push through and persevere. I have no doubt that we will be better
prepared next time we face bad weather conditions. I am very proud that we got out there and
played. We were the only people in our entire chapter that played yesterday. I feel that it shows
a lot about our character and what we want to achieve to be willing to play in any conditions.
Thank you to those who came out and supported us in the weather. • Our varsity softball team competed in the Killeen Tournament. We placed 4th in the silver division
with wins over Gateway Prep 11-4 and Waco LaVega 1-0. We had the opportunity to play many 5A
and 6A teams and get lots of experience under our belt. A few highlights from this weekend were,
2 separate rundowns between 3rd and home both resulting in outs, a double play by Infinity
Morrow, a in the park home run by Ashlynn Hillstead, a delayed stolen base by Taylor Brown that
resulted in a score, and many strike outs from Taylor Brown, Jenna Rodgers, and Shelby Songer. Very proud of all these young ladies!!!! Ladycat Soccer
• The ladycat soccer team took on Diboll at home in the cold, rainy weather. They came out with a
7-0 win! They played a fantastic game and are improving every day. They went up 1-0 in the first
half with a quick goal by Madison Munoz. After halftime, the ladycats went on to score 6 more
goals!!
• The second half goals came from Ally Morgan who scored 2 goals, Lauryn James 1, Karina Trejo 1,
Isabel Garcia 1, Madison Munoz 1.
• The Ladycats are currently 3-1 in district. Our only loss is to Jasper who we play next Tuesday
here in Palestine at 6 pm! Please come out and support the girls! We are out for revenge this
time!
