Students Named Semifinalists in National Merit Program
Mansfield ISD joins with the National Merit Scholarship Corporation in recognizing six students who have been awarded National Merit Semifinalist status. These Mansfield ISD students are among 16,000 academically talented seniors who have an opportunity to continue in the competition for 8,400 National Merit Scholarships worth over $36 million set to be awarded next spring.
To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, Semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. About 90 percent of the Semifinalists are expected to attain Finalist standing, and more than half of the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar title.
"I applaud these students for their individual efforts in achieving this academic honor," said Dr. Bob Morrison, Superintendent of Schools. "We are proud of each of them and wish them success in advancing in this prestigious scholarship program and beyond."
Congratulations, Semifinalists!

Mansfield ISD coordinated with Methodist Mansfield Medical Center to help spread the word about breast cancer awareness and prevention through The Pink Glove Dance. The MISD community was invited to join us in starring in a Pink Glove Dance video at the Legacy HS vs. Bryan Adams HS football game on September 13 at Vernon Newsom Stadium. Breast cancer survivors were also encouraged to attend and dance on the field at halftime.
As part of the Pink Glove Dance 2012 competition, Methodist Mansfield's video will be posted on http://www.pinkglovedance.com on October 12 along with the videos of the other participants to be viewed by the public.
Special thanks to the Legacy HS teen leadership and student council students, cheerleaders, drill team, band, staff and game attendees who all put on pink gloves to join in on the fun. |
Construction on Judy K. Miller Elementary began March 6, 2012 and we will see completion next summer. As a reminder, Miller Elementary will be occupied by Boren Elementary starting in fall 2013 as we begin the campus replacement construction process approved in the 2011 bond.
Over the summer, all high school facilities received security system upgrades (cameras, keyless entry, wireless access update) plus other wireless and technology packages. We also added or improved irrigation systems at Brown Elementary, Morris Elementary, Davis Elementary, Gideon Elementary, Shepard Intermediate, Cross Timbers Intermediate, and Orr Intermediate.
Construction on the new Tarver-Rendon Elementary began last May and will be completed next summer in time for the school to start at their new location next fall.

iPad Program: The High School iPad program for teachers and students is currently in the deployment phase. Devices have been distributed to students at Frontier HS, Lake Ridge HS, Mansfield HS, and Legacy HS. Next week, students at Timberview HS will start the process followed by Summit HS the following week. (As a reminder, Frontier was first to receive the devices because it is a smaller number of students and technicians used it to test the process. A random drawing by the high school principals determined the order of deployment for the other schools.)
