F L ATO N I A T E X A S “It is an honor to work at a school that receives so much support from our local community. Community members and local businesses always aide our students, programs, and activities at Flatonia ISD. Dr. Joyce Epstein once said, „When parents, teachers, students, and others view one another as partners in education, a caring community forms around students and begins its work.‟ At Flatonia ISD, this work began long ago, and because of our dedicated community, it will continue well into the future. Simply stated, Flatonia ISD is a successful school district because of the generosity and support of our local community.” – Mr. Chris Sodek, Secondary Principal
