We’re proud to recognize another outstanding Wildcat—Rylan Arce—as a recipient of the Taylor Whitley Show Up Award! This character-based honor, presented by the Taylor Whitley Show Up Foundation, celebrates students who lead with kindness, generosity, and a commitment to making a difference in the lives of others—just like its namesake, Taylor Whitley. Started by Shannon Whitley in memory of her late husband, the foundation honors Taylor’s belief that goodness is not just a value, but an action. Rylan's actions and character have demonstrated that belief, and that is why he was selected for this honor. Congratulations, Rylan! You have made AISD proud! #ShowUpAward #TaylorWhitleyFoundation #WildcatPride #CharacterCounts

In 2022, AISD administrators, staff, students, and community members came together with a shared purpose—to shape the future of our district. Through collaboration and commitment, they developed a Strategic Plan - AISD Achieve 2026 - that continues to serve as the foundation for our mission, vision, and goals. Since then, regular follow-up meetings have ensured we stay on course. Most recently, community and staff members received an exciting update—and we’re proud to report that everything is on track for full implementation by 2026! We are grateful for the continued support and input from our AISD family. Together, we’re building a stronger, brighter future for all students.

Central and Northside students recently soared to new heights thanks to the Southwest Airlines Adopt-A-Pilot program! We were thrilled to welcome Pilot Jo Giles from Southwest Airlines, who brought real-world aviation experience into our classrooms. At Northside, he taught a 4-part series to the 4th and 5th grade APAWLO classes, while Central's entire 5th grade got to participate in the exciting lessons! Students explored the science of flight, navigation, careers in aviation, and more—all while being inspired to dream big and aim high.

For several years, Westside has proudly welcomed Central’s bilingual Pre-K students for a special tour of their campus—a fun and exciting way to introduce them to their future school and help ease the transition into kindergarten and the Dual Language Program at Westside. This year’s tour was extra special, as it marks the final one of its kind. Beginning next school year, the bilingual Pre-K program will be located at Westside, bringing our youngest learners under one roof even earlier!

History came to life today at Central Elementary’s 4th Grade Wax Museum Exhibit! Students chose influential historical figures to represent then, wrote speeches, and created wax-figure displays—complete with a “button” to bring their characters to life! Their costumes, speeches, and performances were so well done, you’d think the real figures had stepped into the room. Incredible job, 4th graders!
