Argyle ISD Board denounces changes to Title IX

Title IX states that “no person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. In April, the Department of Education proposed redefining “sex” to include gender identity, which would allow biological males who identify as females to use the women’s restroom, and vice versa.
Choir Seniors Leave a Legacy of Dedication
Argyle’s national award-winning choir program is made up of over 50 students, ranging from freshmen to seniors. There are two choirs and two A capella groups that students can participate in. All of these include a try-out process and a year-round commitment to competitions and performances. Out of these individuals, there are a few members who are graduating this Spring and chose to spend all four years of their high school career in the choir program. These dedicated members have their reasons for being in choir, and all of them left an impression that will reverberate for years to come. The underclassmen in choir make up most of the program and look up to the seniors who led them in their walk to be better performers, as well as brightening their days.
