Aubrey ISD Celebrates Ribbon-Cutting of West Elementary School
The legacy of compassion, care, and thoughtful leadership left by Clayton "Pete" Lagree and Myra Ann West will live on in the halls of Aubrey ISD’s newest elementary school. On August 5, the West family, board members, and district leadership cut the ribbon to the campus, with entertainment provided by the Aubrey High School Drumline and Cheerleaders and the Pledge of Allegiance led by West Elementary School students.
Speakers at the event included Aubrey ISD Superintendent Dr. Shannon Saylor, Aubrey ISD School Board President Jim Milacek, West Elementary School Principal Jennie Petrasic, and Teresa West Mancuso, daughter of Pete and Myra West. West Elementary will welcome its inaugural group of students on the first day of school, August 14. #chapsgoback2024
All Aubrey ISD campuses and offices will be closed tomorrow morning, Aug. 7, for District Convocation. We will reopen at 1:30 p.m.

Ribbon Cutting
Let's GUAC about it! The Aubrey ISD District Leadership Team (DLT) had their annual retreat on July 22, 2024.
Superintendent Dr. Shannon Saylor led the retreat with discussions on leadership that included a "Guac Off" with teams working together with avocados and other ingredients to make the best guacamole. The entries were judged on a variety of factors, including taste and presentation. It was a fun and creative way to collaborate and get the school year off to a great start!

Aubrey High School's Cooper Wilson Excels in NASA's Aerospace Scholars Program
Aubrey High School student Cooper Wilson was selected last year to participate in NASA's Aerospace Scholars STEM program. He worked virtually all year with a team of students from around the country on space-themed projects. Their efforts earned them a score of 274 out of 280 and an invitation from Johnson Space Center to participate in the next phase of the program. They will work on Artemis-themed missions to the Moon and Mars, guided by NASA engineers and scientists who will oversee their research, designs, and final presentations.
Congratulations to Cooper for his achievements. #AubreyProud #InspiringChaps #NASA
