Today our high school math students got to test fly their geometric kite project. To put their algebra and geometric skills to the test students had to formulaically determine the amount of resources required to create each geometric shape, assemble the kites, then see if they did their math correctly and put the kites into the sky. The students did a fantastic job and enjoyed Miss Gomez's final test for them!

We want to once again extend a huge congratulations to our 2025-2026 DAEP Teacher of the Year, Ms. Zamarron!

Ms. Zamarron has been with Donna ISD for 30 years and on the DAEP team for the past 11 years. She has impacted the lives of thousands of students during her time on our team and has never shied away from our mission. Ms. Z's dedication to our students and team truly make our campus better every day. If a student is having a rough day, Ms. Z is the first one to help set them in the right direction. If a student has something to celebrate, Ms. Z is the first teacher to cheer with them. If a student needs extra help for them to succeed in class, Ms. Z is the first person they go to for help.

We're incredibly fortunate to have Ms. Zamarron on our team and honored to have her represent us as the 2025-2026 DAEP Teacher of the Year! Help us thank and appreciate her!

Huge shout out to our Middle School English Teacher, Mrs. Cantu, for gamifying the STAAR review for her students! Mrs. Cantu has been preparing her students for the upcoming English STAAR exams and she played ZAP! with them to check for understanding and energize her lesson. The students enjoyed playing ZAP! and got really competitive in the review. Amazing job to Mrs. Cantu and her students! #DAEPrising #launchingstaarsuccess

Celebrating School Social Worker Week!

At DAEP, caring for students goes beyond the classroom. We are proud to recognize our School Social Worker, Ms. Luna, who helps ensure every child is supported and valued.

Ms. Luna connects families to vital resources, provides social-emotional support, assists during times of crisis, and works alongside the DAEP staff to remove barriers to learning. Her work strengthens the whole child so students can grow academically, emotionally, and socially.

At Donna ISD, we are committed to developing well-rounded students and creating safe, supportive campuses where every child can thrive.

Thank you for the compassion, dedication, and care you show our students every day. We appreciate all you do, Ms. Luna!
