Warren Independent School District

On January 30, Fred Elementary at Warren ISD enacted a secure hold in the early afternoon due to a suspicious individual on a side by side seen on a public road next to the school, possibly carrying a firearm. Warren ISD Officers and Tyler County Sheriff's Deputies promptly responded to assess the situation and searched for the individual, who subsequently fled the vicinity. Tyler County Deputies located the vehicle just North of the school and it was determined to be juveniles. After initial questioning and a visible search there was no weapon located. The safety of our students and staff remains paramount and that’s why these precautions were taken.

🎉Congratulations to our Campus Teachers of the Year!🎉 These outstanding educators were selected by their peers for truly embodying Warren ISD’s Portrait of a Teacher - encouraging a culture of creativity and innovative thinking, demonstrating leadership, empowering students to drive their own learning, and so much more.

🌟 WHS Teacher of the Year: Adrienne Parks
🌟 WJH Teacher of the Year: Kami Del Re
🌟 WES Teacher of the Year: Meagan Murray
🌟 FES Teacher of the Year: April Cravy

👏 Congratulations to these incredible educators! Warren ISD is blessed to have you!

📚 Why School Boards Matter
In Texas, local school boards play a vital role in shaping education by representing the values, needs, and expectations of their communities. Within state and federal guidelines, trustees work together to:
✔️ Set goals and priorities for student success
✔️ Adopt and review district policies
✔️ Hire and evaluate the superintendent
✔️ Adopt the district budget and tax rate
✔️ Communicate openly with the community
✔️ And SO much more!

🤝 A Shared Commitment to Students
While the superintendent manages daily operations, the board provides governance and oversight; working together to ensure our district remains focused on what matters most: student achievement and success.

🧡 Please join us in thanking our Board of Trustees for their leadership, service, and dedication to our schools and community!
