Strong Words About a Strong District

What do you think of when you hear the words "strong," "indispensable value," and "capable"? Well, you should think of C-FB!

“C-FB ISD has proven itself a strong, capable, environment that encourages growth,
outreach, and the indispensable value of a first-class education which aims to produce
ready and confident citizens of the world.” - C-FB ISD Alumnus


I came across this testimonial submitted by an alumnus when I was reading through over 100 stories collected this year about the great things C-FB is doing through our "Share Your Story Campaign." I think this former student says it best! I am proud of C-FB ISD and the incredible work our staff does every day impacting the lives of students and families in this district. I want to invite you to join me in telling the community, the Metroplex, the state and the nation about our great district.

We are offering training sessions on how to be Community Ambassadors for C-FB ISD and Texas public education - to help you do just that. We had our first session in June. The next two sessions will run 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on
  • July 19
  • August 9
We will meet at the Administration Building, 1445 North Perry Road, Carrollton 75006.  All meetings will include lunch.  Please join us for these important sessions. Or, if you know someone who will be an excellent Ambassador, encourage that individual to attend.

Why Community Ambassadors?

Many of you read Focus Points regularly so you know that the district has one goal: "high achievement for all students."  

We believe the Community Ambassador Academy will help increase support of our school system.  If our citizens are united around their district's purpose, they will have a greater understanding of what is happening with the students and educators in their neighborhood public schools.

Will you be C-FB ISD Ambassadors in your neighborhoods, your grocery stores, your place of business, your faith community -- basically everywhere you go? We need your voice of confidence and support.

“Our people are our single greatest strength and most enduring long-term competitive advantage.” - Gary Kelly, President and CEO, Southwest Airlines

Like Southwest Airlines, C-FB ISD is an outstanding choice because of the people who have chosen Carrollton-Farmers Branch for their families and as their professional home. This is one of the many reasons that C-FB ISD ranks consistently in the top 9% in academic performance of the 200 largest school districts according to the Education Resource Group (ERG).


And, we need you to help spread the word about the positive work of C-FB ISD teachers and students.  We invite you to be part of our team as one of the first C-FB ISD Community Ambassadors.
