We want to know how PTISD has impacted your life!
Here are a few who have shared their story....
I really love PT!! I worked for another district before and I am not sure what took me so long to get here. I can't tell you how happy professionally and personally that I am here at PT. My son, Mateo, has had the best experience in 5th grade. Thank God for the group of teachers he has (Carlisle, Carlisle & Hipke). His grades and attitude about school have improved.
Thank you Pine Tree ISD!!!

I'm proud of PT because they have an excellent art program (and are taking 3 kids to state in VASE). I wasn't fortunate enough to go to a school with an emphasis on visual art (football, band, ag) so I really appreciate having this opportunity for my children (and wife).
