March madness is in full swing.  This year has been very interesting with many underdogs knocking off powerful tradition rich basketball programs.  Who would have ever thought that Mercer would beat Duke.  It goes to show that anyone with hard work can rise to the top!  Florida will probably win the tournament, even though I do not want them to win.

Pathways
Did you know that Corsicana High School will have almost 40 different pathways through 5 endorsements beginning next year?  There will be no school in all of Navarro County that will have as many pathways available to their students.  In addition to theses pathways Corsicana High School has a large number of Advanced Placement courses and Dual Credit courses available to our students.  Stop in to see all that we have to offer.  For detailed information on available pathways please click here.

A digital citizen is one who knows what is right and wrong, exhibits intelligent, technology behavior, and makes good choices when using technology.  In the 21st Century, your digital footprint is one of the most important aspects of your personal and professional life.  As a school we must do a better job of teaching digital citizenship to all of our stakeholders.  Responsibility as it relates to social media sometimes must be taught.  Let’s all work together to teach digital citizenship.  

The STAAR end of course exams for `English I and English II will be next Monday and Tuesday.  The English department will host three STAAR after-school tutorial sessions for all English I and English II students.  The sessions will be from 3:30-5:00 on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday of this week.  Transportation will be available for all students.  We will have pizza, drinks, and door prizes each day.  See you there!

I had the opportunity to attend the Bluebonnet Relays in Ennis.  It was great to see so many of our students participating in track and field.  Not only are they participating, but they are doing an outstanding job.  The running events started off with a bang with Corsicana burning up the track.  I want you to know that I was fired up!  You should have seen me.  I was all over that field representing the “C”.  The varsity track teams will be competing at the 87th Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays this weekend.  Please click here for a complete schedule of the relays.  Go Tigers! #HomeofChampions  

The baseball and softball teams played great games against district rival Nacogdoches.  There was lot’s of hype surrounding both games and the Tigers ended victoriously!  Softball won 13-8 and baseball won 7-3.  Both teams will be in action this week against at Lindale and back at home against Whitehouse.  Go Tigers! #HomeofChampions

Our Ag Mechanics team received 2nd in class at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo with the trailer they built.  They have been doing awesome this entire semester.
