Ladies and Gentlemen, After watching the weather we have decided that the threat of lightning has forced us to move graduation to the Pirate Center. Doors will open to guests at 7:45 and the ceremony will begin at 8:30. Remember you must have a ticket to enter the gymnasium. We will live stream the event to the Theatre at the High School for those without a ticket.

"Everyday at Pine Tree ISD, we're teaching kids how to think, not what to think. We’re teaching kids how to rise to expectations not make excuses on why they can't. We’re teaching kids how to make good choices and good decisions so they don't have to endure a lifetime of pain for making poor decisions. We’re teaching kids you've got to put in whatever amount of work it takes to get the job done because you can't sit around and wait for someone else to do it. Basically, we are teaching kids how to be successful adults.” Steve Clugston, Pine Tree ISD Superintendent https://youtu.be/iNS3mLjsaJ8?si=pjwHkN1XvQJa-5Qc
