CANUTILLO | A Premier District

February is Black History Month and the Canutillo Independent School District joins the rest of the country in celebrating the contributions, impact and stories that the African-American community have had on our school district, city, state and nation. Each year, during the month of February, many of us pause to reflect on the cultural and historic importance of black voices in our communities.

We had an outstanding week here in the Canutillo Independent School District. This is the type of week any school district wishes to have all the time. Truly, I am amazed and proud of the work our students and teachers do. They bring such great attention to a wonderful community.

The Canutillo Independent School District is among a handful of state districts in to have earned the prestigious Award of Excellence in Financial Management award from the Texas Association of School Business Officials – the largest school-finance organization in the state.

Northwest Early College students arrived at their classroom Thursday morning to find they had just entered a make-believe active airplane crash scene right in the middle of their school.

The secret is out: Canutillo High School star running back LJ Martin announced on Wednesday that he will attend and play football at Brigham Young University next fall.
