I'd like you to consider joining what is becoming one of the most exciting and student centered school districts in the state of Texas. Tatum Independent School District is a T.E.A. Recognized District for the 2010-2011 school year. Tatum ISD consists of four campuses:

Tatum Primary School - Exemplary Rating

Tatum Elementary School - Recognized Rating

Tatum Middle School - Recognized Rating

Tatum High School - Exemplary Rating

We are making great progress in our school district. Schools in Tatum ISD are being honored by the Texas Education Agency for their academic and UIL achievement. We have the same high standards and expectations for all students, and they are not only meeting them; they are exceeding them.

These great accomplishments by our schools are not a matter of luck. They are the result of the following:

* hard work and dedication of our teachers, principals, and students.
* a school district working with a common purpose and a focus on the needs of all children.
* community support and parent determination. You won't find any community more dedicated to its public school district than Tatum, Texas. Tatum is a community that cares deeply about its schools.

That's the kind of school district we want you to consider joining, a district with a plan for success. Our teachers feel successful because they are raising student performance.

If you have years of teaching under your belt, we welcome your expertise. If this will be your first teaching job, we're going to provide you with the support you need for a successful first year. We're a district that believes in high standards for all children. We provide teachers the necessary support to help meet those standards.

Teaching is fun and very fulfilling, yet sometimes challenging. We all know it's the most important profession there is. Will you consider coming to Tatum ISD and working with us to become the premier school district in the state of Texas? We hope you say, "YES!"
