🐰The Alto FFA Rabbit Show Team had a successful day at the Houston Livestock Show! These students are working hard over their spring break and doing a great job representing Alto. Way to go, Jackets! 🐝
Congratulations to our 2026-2027 cheerleaders!
This afternoon, we celebrated a special part of Yellowjacket history! 🏃♂️💛
This year marks 40 years since Alto’s 1986 State Championship and 30 years since the historic 1996 State Championships, when both the boys and girls teams brought home state titles. We were honored to welcome special guests representing all seven Alto state championship track teams:
🏆 Boys State Champions — 1986, 1996, 2004, 2014
🏆 Girls State Champions — 1996, 2003, 2005
These outstanding athletes laid the foundation for the proud tradition of the Alto ISD track program. Their dedication, hard work, and championship spirit continue to inspire today’s Yellowjackets!

Alto ISD was well represented at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo this year! 🤠🐂
Lariat D. showed her heifer in the International Brahman Show and placed 3rd out of a huge class of 50 heifers — an outstanding accomplishment!
Angelina L., Makenzie S., Makenzie L. (9th place), Macee L. (15th place), and Alice M. (7th place) also represented Alto well in the Junior Beefmaster Show.
Showing livestock takes dedication, responsibility, early mornings, and late nights, and we are proud of the hard work these students put into raising and exhibiting their animalsl. Great job, Jackets! 💛🖤

Many thanks to author and poet Devondra Banks for visiting our elementary students and reading several of her children’s books! This special experience was a wonderful way to end Read Across America Week . 📚✨
Please help us congratulate our AHS Students of the Month for February — Feleena, Erick, Ayralea, and Makenzie! These students have demonstrated hard work, positive attitudes, and dedication both in and out of the classroom. We are proud of the example they set for their peers!
We also want to recognize our February Teacher of the Month, Mrs. Laine Carpenter, who teaches Animal Science at AHS. Mrs. Carpenter was selected by her peers for the incredible impact she makes every day on our campus and with her students. Colleagues shared that she "consistently goes above and beyond for her students", even during the busy spring season filled with Ag events, always ensuring her students are supported and successful. They also noted that she is a strong, positive presence on campus who earns the respect of her students through her hard work and commitment.
