Message from the Principal
Welcome to the new Chillicothe ISD website. I am starting my 4th full year as HS Principal at CISD. I believe we have the best staff and students in Texas. And although our students continue to achieve success academically, we strive to provide more opportunities for them in this forward moving world. With the advances in technology especially in regard to AI tech, our students will need to be more prepared than ever to obtain successful careers. In addition to all the basic courses needed for graduation, we offer Dual Credit, STEM classes, robotics, CTE classes and UIL Debate, One Act play and Academic contests. Our campus also offers many opportunities in athletics: football, volleyball, cross country, basketball, power lifting, track, tennis and golf. In our efforts to help students become successful adults, we also participate in Volunteer activities to help our community through the City Government, Lions Club and churches.
Our Motto is “Enter to Learn, Exit to Serve” and our hope is that each graduating student is a well-rounded adult with the skills to navigate the world.
Thanks to all our parents and community who support our efforts as we continue to educate the students of Chillicothe ISD.
GO EAGLE NATION!!
Warm regards,
Brenda Dunlap

Relationships Under Construction
Human Sexuality Instruction
Annual Notification
As a part of the district’s curriculum, students receive instruction related to human sexuality. The School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) makes recommendations for curriculum materials, and the school board adopts the materials and determines the specific content of the instruction.
“Relationships Under Construction” is the program the district has in place in the fall semester at the High School Campus.
In accordance with state law, a parent may:
- Review, receive a copy of, or purchase a copy of curriculum materials depending on the copyright of the materials.
- Remove their child from any part of the human sexuality instruction without academic, disciplinary, or other penalties.
- Become involved in the development of this curriculum by becoming a member of the district’s SHAC or attending SHAC meetings. See the campus principal for details.
- Use the district’s grievance procedure concerning a complaint. [See Complaints and Concerns (All Grade Levels) and FNG(LOCAL).]
State law also requires that instruction related to human sexuality, sexually transmitted diseases, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS):
- Present abstinence from sexual activity as the preferred choice in relationship to all sexual activity for unmarried persons of school age
- Devote more attention to abstinence from sexual activity than to any other behavior
- Emphasize that abstinence, if used consistently and correctly, is the only method that is 100 percent effective in preventing pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and the emotional trauma associated with adolescent sexual activity
- Direct adolescents to abstain from sexual activity before marriage as the most effective way to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases
If included in the content of the curriculum, teach contraception and condom use in terms of human use reality rates instead of theoretical laboratory rates
Consent Before Human Sexuality Instruction
Before a student receives human sexuality instruction, the parent must give written consent. Parents will be sent a request for written consent at least 14 days before the instruction will begin.
