AHS Principal Update

MR. JOHN KING

The 2020-2021 school year will come to a close in just a few short days. While the year has certainly been one for the record books with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has also been a record year for the students of Argyle High School. Together, we have persevered and have continued to show what it truly means to be an Argyle Eagle. I am so proud of each of you.

For my last article for this school year, I want to take a moment and personally thank several groups of people for helping make the most of this very challenging year. First of all, I want to thank the teachers and staff of Argyle High School. You went above and beyond every day to provide our students with a safe learning environment. I cannot begin to express my full gratitude for your diligent work and continuous support of our students. I know I speak for the entire community of Argyle when I say thank you for being so awesome.

Next, I would like to thank our student body – especially the Senior Class of 2021. This year was different in so many ways, but you accepted the challenges that COVID brought your way and continued to excel in the classroom, on the playing fields/courts, and in all of your fine arts endeavors. You not only continued the tradition of excellence that we have come to expect in Argyle, but you did it with character and class. I am so proud of each of you, and I know that you will take the experiences you have had this year and use them to conquer your future hopes and dreams.

Another group that deserves a huge “Thank You” is the Argyle ISD Board of Trustees. You listened to the community and took a huge leap of faith by allowing our students to start school face-to-face back in August when other school districts made the decision to only offer virtual learning. Your guidance and leadership is very much appreciated, and we thank you for the way that you invest your time and abilities into the lives of the students of Argyle.

Finally, I would like to thank the parents of our high school students. Your constant support of our teachers and school administration has helped us reach the finish line of the 2020-2021 school year. We appreciate you letting us work with your child this year, and we look forward to the opportunity of teaching your student again next year.

I certainly hope that you enjoy your summer break – you have definitely earned it. See you in August. Until then…
