Itasca High School is excited to announce the launch of its very first Texas Association of Future Educators (TAFE) chapter!✏️📚
TAFE (pronounced TAFFY) is a student organization dedicated to inspiring and preparing the next generation of educators. Through leadership opportunities, community service, educational competitions, and hands-on experiences, students explore careers in education while developing valuable skills for their futures.
We are thrilled to introduce our founding TAFE members and look forward to watching this new chapter grow! These students will have the opportunity to make a positive impact on our schools and community while discovering the rewards of becoming future educators. These students have already attended their first 2 meetings and have begun planning many exciting things for the school year! We are excited to bring this organization to Itasca High School and can't wait to see all that our students accomplish!

ITASCA ISD WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A SPECIAL THANK-YOU TO MAVERICKS LEGACY!
We are truly grateful to Kim and Darrin Chambers and the entire Mavericks Legacy organization for their incredibly generous donation of Life-Vac devices to our police department and school district.
This donation means more to us than just adding another piece of emergency equipment. It means having another resource available to help protect our students, staff, first responders, and families in our community. We are thankful for people who take something so heartbreaking and turn it into an opportunity to help protect others.
Behind this organization is the story of their son, Maverick, who tragically passed away following a choking emergency in 2022. Following his loss, his parents established Mavericks Legacy with a mission to raise awareness about choking emergencies and provide Life-Vac devices to schools, police departments, fire departments, and other organizations.
The Life-Vac devices will be placed inside our campus AED cabinets, with the first device located in the cafeteria. Over the next week, every AED cabinet throughout the district will be equipped with a Life-Vac.
WANT A LIFE-VAC FOR YOUR HOME?
Through Mavericks Legacy's Stay Safe Program, individuals and families can purchase Life-Vac devices at a discounted price!
The program offers:
Approximately 25–40% off retail prices.
Free shipping.
No sales tax.
Use promotional code ITASCA at checkout!
🌐 Learn more or purchase a Life-Vac: https://www.maverickslegacy.org/
Kim and Darrin, thank you for trusting us to be part of Maverick's Legacy. Your willingness to turn unimaginable loss into something that could potentially help save another child's life is something we will never take for granted. We are honored to have these devices in our schools and department, and we are proud to support your mission.
From all of us at Itasca ISD, thank you for helping us keep our Wampus Cats and our community safe! ❤️
