Today the staffers took over! Second year yearbook staff took time to teach their classmates about different aspects of the camera. First year staffers learned how to turn on and off the camera, learned about the different camera settings, learned about the different equipment involved in photography, and learned how to change our lenses. All this from a group of their peers.



Due to high demand, the deadline has been extended to August 27th to give everyone ample time to order.

The 2024-2025 yearbooks have arrived!!!

Red Lick ISD is excited to announce that Dustin Myrtle was hired last night to become the new Chief of Police. We are thrilled that he will be joining "The Herd" and with his background in the military and law enforcement, he has security covered. Please join us in welcoming him to the family. #theHerd

Online registration is now open! We are looking forward to seeing your children in just a few weeks. #theHerd

The elementary school closed out the year with a special celebration in honor of Mrs. Carr’s retirement. After 28 wonderful years of inspiring young minds, Mrs. Carr finished her final school year with us. Over nearly three decades, she has touched the lives of countless students, shared her passion for learning, and made a lasting impact on our school community.
Her dedication, kindness, and joyful spirit will be deeply missed by students, staff, and families alike. While we are sad to see her go, we are excited for her as she begins this new chapter.
Thank you, Mrs. Carr, for everything you’ve given to our school. We wish you all the happiness and relaxation in the world! You’ve earned it!









7th and 8th graders have had a fun science week. They had "Cobra Weave" and Cup Tower contests, compared Mentos and various soda reactions, observed can crushing as a result of rapid changes in air pressure, and watched the effect of Carbon Dioxide gas on a flame.
