Back to School Letter from Principal Byther
Hello REACH family! Venturing into my 23rd year at REACH High School, and my 35th year in Castleberry ISD, which includes the 12 years I attended CISD schools as a student, I can honestly say that I am more proud of our district, right now, than I have ever been. Our current team of supporters, including our CISD School Board of Education, our Superintendent Dr. John Ramos, Associate Superintendent Renee Smith-Faulkner, and the Superintendent’s Cabinet, have invested 1,000s of hours to insure that everything possible is being done regarding the safety, security, and educational needs of both students and staff.

Perception of Remote Learning
Educators are planners. Most like to take their time planning to make sure that every single student receives the best education possible. Typically, when undergoing such a large venture such as district-wide remote learning, the planning would take place over the course of a minimum of a year; longer if possible.
