4th grade and senior parents for tonight:

Cassie Cleavinger is retiring after two years of service with Plainview ISD, leaving a meaningful impact in a short time through her compassion and dedication to students.
One of Cassie’s most unforgettable memories comes from working with a nonverbal student who began using an augmentative communication device to share pieces of his life. Hearing him excitedly express things like “Seven Brew, milkshake,” “Braums, ice cream, cookies and cream,” and “dad, plane Mexico” was a powerful reminder of the importance of connection and communication. Moments like these are ones Cassie will cherish forever.
She also brought joy and laughter to her campus. Especially during the holidays, by using a life-sized Buddy the Elf to spread Christmas cheer (and maybe startle a few unsuspecting coworkers along the way).
Cassie will miss the amazing staff and students she had the privilege of working with each day, who made her time in education so special.
As she enters retirement, Cassie looks forward to spending quality time with her family and is excited about the possibility of planning new travel adventures.
Plainview ISD thanks Cassie Cleavinger for her service and wishes her all the best in this next chapter.

We are so proud of the way Ava represented our school district and community. Way to go, Ava!


BIG congratulations to our very own Mrs. Staci Barrett from PJHS for being named a 2026 WhatATeacher of the Year winner through Whataburger! 🎉🍔
Only 60 teachers across the entire United States were selected, and we are so proud that one of them is from Plainview Junior High School!
Mrs. Barrett received a $1,000 check, a YETI lunch box, and gift cards as part of this amazing honor. More importantly, this recognition shines a light on the impact she makes every single day for her students and our school community.
Thank you, Mrs. Barrett, for your dedication, heart, and hard work. PJHS is lucky to have you!

After 21 years of faithful and compassionate service to Plainview ISD, Plainview High School counselor Robin Sweeney is retiring, leaving behind a lasting impact on generations of students, families, and colleagues. Throughout her career, Robin dedicated her heart to caring for others, building meaningful relationships, and helping countless students navigate both the challenges and celebrations of life. She shared that the most rewarding part of her time in PISD has been the connections she formed with students, parents, and coworkers, and the moments when someone simply thanked her for being kind or for making a difference. Those moments, she says, made every long day worthwhile.
Robin’s warmth, sense of humor, and servant’s heart have been a blessing to the PHS community for more than two decades. One of her favorite memories was during graduation practice in 2018, when staff members surprised seniors with a fun lip-sync performance that brought laughter and joy to everyone in attendance. While Robin will deeply miss helping people and being part of the everyday lives of students and staff, she now looks forward to spending precious time with her grandson and making sure he stays away from toilets and drain lines after a few expensive adventures with misplaced toys.
Plainview ISD is incredibly grateful for Robin Sweeney’s years of dedication, love, and unwavering commitment to students and families. Her kindness and influence will continue to be felt for years to come, and she will always hold a special place in the hearts of the PHS family. We wish her a retirement filled with joy, laughter, and well-deserved time with those she loves most.
Please join us celebrating her on May 20.
