Bailey Peltier, one of AISD's top-ranking seniors at Angleton High School, was honored at this week's board meeting.
Bailey has been named a Commended Student in the 2027 National Merit Scholarship Program. She earned this distinction for the exceptional academic promise she demonstrated on the 2025 national PSAT, which is the qualifying test for entry into the program.
Commended status is incredibly hard to achieve. Bailey is one of only about 34,000 students throughout the entire nation to earn the designation of Commended Student, placing her among the top 50,000 students who entered the 2027 competition.
This is not the first time she has been recognized for her scholastic talents by the school board. Just last month, we recognized her as an AP Scholar with Distinction from the AP Scholar Program, which was the highest academic ranking one could receive in that program. She has also received other distinctions such as one from the College Board National Recognition, and you may have remembered her for other recognitions like her state-qualifying ranking for Band.
Looking for the perfect holiday gift? Our Angleton High School CTE students are hosting their first-ever Purple PawLooza event for the community to shop, support and explore all the great items that our high school students are making while in school. At the event, our students will be selling items they make as part of their CTE learning experience. You might just find the perfect gift.

Dear Wildcat Family,
We share our deepest condolences with the Stallman family on the loss of their son Austin. Austin was a proud Wildcat from the Class of 2023. He was an exemplary student with a kind heart and a beautiful spirit, and he will be deeply missed. Once a Wildcat, Always a Wildcat!
We ask that you please keep the Stallman family in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this unimaginable loss. We also ask that you give your support to their extended family, including the teams at our AISD Alternative Campuses and the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Department, whom we stand by during this heartbreaking time.
We know that this may be a difficult loss for many. If any of our students and staff need support, our counselors will be available. Please contact your campus if you need support during this time, and we ask again that you continue to keep the Stallman family in your thoughts and prayers.
Angleton ISD is proud of Celia Lewis, AISD Education Foundation Executive Director and Alternative Funding Director! Celia was one of the guest speakers at this year's Blossoming Reverie, the Angleton Chamber's annual women's conference. Thank you for sharing your inspirational story and journey, Ms. Lewis! #AchievingExcellence #BecauseWereWildcats

What's next for Angleton ISD? We want you to help us discover what lies ahead for our Wildcats!
We are starting the process to develop a new, five-year strategic plan for the school district that will be implemented next school year. The strategic plan will guide AISD's direction over the next five years, setting priorities and deadlines to accomplish the expectations of the plan.
The first step in the process is to develop two sets of groups -- focus groups and a larger planning committee. We are seeking community members and parents/guardians who are interested in joining the focus groups and/or the planning committee.
The focus groups will be asked to meet once, maybe twice, in late October to help lay the groundwork for the larger Strategic Planning Committee. The larger Strategic Planning Committee will meet six (6) times for half-day to full-day meetings from November through February. The committee will help identify priorities, gather input from stakeholders, and develop goals for the plan.
If you are interested in being a part of one or both of the groups, please click the following link to access and complete a Google Form by noon on Wednesday, September 23: https://forms.gle/xFhkTeZh588GB1ov9
These groups will have a limited number of seats available. The district will review and consider all requests and let those interested know if they are selected for either a focus group and/or for the Strategic Planning Committee.

UPDATE - Phone System Issue Resolved - The phones in the school district are back to working as normal, and the district can now receive calls in and make calls out. We appreciate the hard work of our AISD Technology Department to resolve the issue.
Important Message from Angleton ISD - Currently, the phone service in the school district is down. The district cannot receive calls in or make calls out, but the phones are working internally within the district.
At this time, we have not been given an estimated time of when the issue will be resolved. The district is working on the issue and is in contact with the service provider, and we will update you when the issue is resolved.
If you need to contact the school, you will need to email or use Connect, our two-way communication platform through our AISD app or website.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this issue.
A big thank you to the Brazoria County Clerk’s Office for hosting a supply drive to support students in Angleton ISD!
County Clerk Joyce Hudman and Brandy Pena presented the donated school supplies to AISD Superintendent Dr. Alicia Press, Director of Communications Hanna Chalmers, and Community Relations Director Christi McCracken.
These supplies will be distributed to students at Angleton High School and will help provide them with some of the tools they need to be successful in the classroom.
