Our commitment at TISD is to provide the best possible educational experience for our students and to prepare them for life after high school. In order to do this, our staff must be able to teach our students without the distraction of their cell phones. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the High School Principal, Mr. Jason Crow, or the Middle School Principal, Mr. Chris Nickleberry Sr.
