Shortly after 8:00 pm on May 26, 2022, Trinidad ISD received a report of an alleged verbal threat from a student towards the high school graduation ceremony to be held Friday May 27, 2022. Local law enforcement were called immediately. A thorough investigation took place. The investigation led to the student admitting that he made a “joking” verbal threat towards the graduation exercise. He expressed deep remorse for his actions. Of course various police and court procedures followed. It should be noted that if a threat ever existed, it was stopped shortly after midnight Friday morning. Although no threat exists, all attendees can expect law enforcement presence on Friday. We encourage everyone to speak with their children about the ramifications of even joking about violence. Due to this being a legal situation with a minor, this will be the only statement from TISD.

Join us to celebrate the Trinidad Thespians on Tuesday May 17th!

Congratulations Seniors!
Due to necessary closures, Trinidad ISD has fallen under the state required minutes of instruction. In order to get us back into compliance, Friday April 15th will be a regular school day (8:00-3:35).
A near catastrophic failure turned out to be our kids finest moment in my opinion. When they called for Trinidad OAP to perform at the district competition, for whatever reason our laptop would not sync with the house system. "NO SOUND". Our kids stepped on stage and smashed it. I have never been more proud. Moving on to Bi-District. Congratulations TISD Thespians.
Trinidad ISD will have an early release Friday March 4, 2022 at 12:30 to allow travel time for staff and students to attend Regional basketball game in Del Valle. We will find another time to make up our required minutes. Thanks for your continued support.
