August 23, 2021 - The intersection of SL 500 and State Highway 7 (SH7) East was the scene of a major two-vehicle crash Friday, August 20, 2021.

August 23, 2021 - The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) is actively investigating a homicide that occurred Saturday, August 21 on County Road 2225 in Center.

August 20, 2021 - Today, we received information that there was speculation that Center ISD is talking about shutting down. At this point, there has been no discussion between administration and the school board to shut down. The last time the district shutdown was due to a declaration by Governor Abbott. 

Again, Center ISD does not have any plans to shut down due to COVID-19 or the Delta Variant.

We will see you Monday. Have a blessed and restful weekend.

Dr. Brian Morris
Superintendent 
Center ISD

August 19, 2021 - According to the Texas DSHS Covid-19 Dashboard, 19 new cases were reported on Thursday. The new active cases rose to only 173 because 16 new recoveries helped to offset the new cases.

The new cases pushed August Covid-19 numbers to over 200. Now, nearly a third of the new cases (66) in August are just from the last three days and August still has 12 days remaining.

August 19, 2021 - Repairs to the water main along Highway 7 West that serves our water system are required and will be conducted on Friday, August 20, 2021.

While no major impact or shortages are expected, some customers may experience reduced pressure resulting from flushing. To help reduce the chances of a water shortage, we ask our customers to conserve water where possible. The estimated time of completion is 6:00 pm Friday.
