BISD Celebrates Its Past

The centennial celebration is on! The Brownsville Independent School District (BISD) turned 100 this year and activities are underway to recognize this significant milestone. The very first official BISD Board Meeting was held in March, 1915, after the district was created with the unanimous approval of House Bill 594 by the Texas House and Senate members. Fittingly, the public is invited to attend a Centennial Reception on Tuesday, March 3 from 4:30 to 5:30 PM in the Lobby of the BISD Administration Building, 1900 Price Road. It would not be a celebration without a birthday cake. Cake and other light refreshments will be served. The Centennial Reception is being held prior to the regularly scheduled Board Meeting at 5:30 P.M. At the Board Meeting, former BISD trustees will be recognized and KBSD TV will air a special anniversary video. View the media release.
