Mart ISD would like to welcome Dr. Nancy Dominguez to our #PANTHERFamily.
Dr. Dominguez will be the new assistant principal at the High School.
Biography: Greetings! My name is Dr. Nancy Dominguez, and I am the assistant principal at Mart High School this school year! 2023-2024 marks the beginning of my 17thyear in education, and I am excited to be a Mart Panther! I graduated with my bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2008 and my master’s degree from Tarleton State University in 2011. Most recently, I graduated with my doctorate degree in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies from Tarleton State University. I am certified bilingual with the ability to effectively communicate in English and Spanish. I thoroughly enjoy working with various stakeholders in order to help all students reach their full potential. On a personal note, I have been married to an amazing husband, Justin, for over a decade. Together, we have been blessed with two sweet and energetic young men, Aaron, who is an active and athletic 11-year-old, and Andrew, who is a courageous five-year-old.
My Why: The primary reason I became an educator is to support all students, especially those students who are unable to self-advocate. My hope is for all of our students to be educated and productive members of society. I firmly believe in the power of education and know firsthand how positively impactful receiving a solid education can be. As Brian Tracy said, “It doesn’t matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.” Let’s go, Panthers!

Dear Parents or Guardians,
The school year is coming to an end and students’ medications need to be taken home. If your student has any prescription medication, over the counter medications or a nebulizer device in the nurse’s office, the parent/guardian needs to come by the nurse’s office for pickup on or prior to the last day of school. The medications not picked up before dismissal on May 26, 2023 will be properly disposed of. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Misty Willis

Congratulations to Brandon Lundy for placing 1st in state in the 400M Dash with a time of 48:51!!! #gold #BrandonLundyDay #statetrack
If you're planning on watching Mart compete at the state track meet on NFHS please tune in early. All events are on a rolling time schedule to miss the weather and so they could run ahead of schedule. You can find the schedule of events here: https://www.uiltexas.org/files/athletics/state-track-field/2023_2A_TF_Schedule.pdf but we suggest tuning in by 6pm so you don't miss the 400m dash and by 7pm so you don't miss the relay.
Thank you to Mary Mann and TDW for the water and notes for the staff! #PANTHERFamily #TeacherAppreciation
Thank you to Paige Mann with Texas First Insurance for the cookie cakes! We love having you as part of our #PANTHERFamily!
