During construction today, workers at the Loop and Northwest, at the entrance to the Junior High School, damaged a gas line. There is no danger to the school or children, however, there may be traffic delays during afternoon student pick-up. Additionally, this disruption may cause a delay in students' bus home delivery. Thank you, PTISD Administration

Pine Tree High School Student, Cread Ray, Named Semifinalist in National Merit Scholarship Program. Today officials of National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC®) announced the names of more than 16,000 Semifinalists in the 70th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. These academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 6,870 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $26 million that will be offered next spring. Over 1.3 million juniors entered the competition last year, and Pine Tree's own CREAD RAY qualified. This puts his SAT score in approximately the top 1% of scores submitted for this competition across the country. The qualifiers for the next stage of the competition, National Merit Finalist, will be announced in February 2025. Congratulations, Cread!

Parent Notification September 11, 2024 Dear Pine Tree Parents/Guardians, We are aware of rumors circulating about potential threats to public schools in our area, specifically related to Pine Tree ISD. Working closely with the Longview Police Department (LPD), we have investigated these rumors and identified the source of one as a high school student. This student shared concerns online after hearing other students discuss the issue. However, these rumors have no validity. Additionally, some students are redistributing outdated posts, making them appear as if they are new incidents. Sharing false information creates unnecessary stress, causes worry, and places an undue burden on both school and police resources. We encourage you to speak with your children about the importance of addressing concerns appropriately. If your child has any concerns, please encourage them to speak directly with an administrator or School Resource Officer (SRO) rather than turning to social media. Social media is not the right platform for resolving these matters. Please be assured, there is no immediate threat to the safety of any Pine Tree campuses. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. PTISD Administration

The PTHS UIL Academic Team got a great start to the 24-25 season at the Student Activity Conference hosted by Tyler Junior College. Students and coaches learned about their events from the UIL State Directors.

🏐 Come cheer on the Lady Pirates today in New Diana starting at 4:30pm 🏴‍☠️

Friday evening at the home football game, we were made aware of threatening remarks made online by a student. In cooperation with Longview PD the issue was quickly dealt with. While our local PD investigates the validity of this threat, we want to remind parents to talk to their students about the seriousness of making any type of threatening comments. We will always take every threat seriously because nothing is more important than the safety of our students and staff. We are thankful for our students and parents providing us information and the cooperation and the quick response of the Longview Police Department.
