Aubrey ISD school board members, administrators, faculty and staff gathered at Aubrey Middle School for a “State of the District” meeting called by Superintendent Dr. Shannon Saylor. It actually was a surprise renaming of Aubrey Middle School! In Fall 2025, Aubrey ISD will open its second middle school named for Evalois Owens. Now, both schools have individuals they are named for. Congratulations to Aubrey ISD Deputy Superintendent Terrie McNabb. Led by principal Dr. Heather Vandiver, McNabb Middle School is here!

January is School Board Recognition Month
Each January, we take the time to recognize and celebrate our school board members for their dedication, leadership, and commitment to enhancing public education.
Happy New Year!
Happy Holidays!
This year’s district holiday luncheon took on a new look but still served as a fantastic way to kick off the holiday season. Each campus celebrated uniquely, with meals and treats for their staff in festive styles. At the high school, breakfast was delivered door-to-door. Staff district and campus gifts were also handed out. To start the holiday festivities, retirees, Chaparral Legacy Cooperative members, and district administrators enjoyed a luncheon at Aubrey Middle School, highlighted by a variety of student performances. We wish all our families a holiday season filled with rest, joy, and cherished moments together. Watch video here: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/14W6vPqWd3/?mibextid=wwXIfr
