“At Pine Tree, we believe every kid that walks through our doors deserves the right to go out and pursue the American dream. That only happens if somebody takes the time to teach them how to be a successful adult. We practice that every single day, in every classroom and in every program because kids matter and our future matters.” Pine Tree ISD Superintendent, Steve Clugston https://youtu.be/HVrd6xUz27I
