This is the last week of school before we are out of school for two weeks for the Christmas Holidays. It is my hope that all stakeholders of Corsicana High School have a great holiday with family and friends. Please do not forget that we have an early release this Friday at 11:30 am. Classes will be dismissed at 11:00 am and lunch will be from 11:00-11:30 am. Lunch is optional.
“Silent Night” by the Temptations (One of my favorite Christmas songs)
Can you believe the Cowboys lost again? It would be okay if they were losing from the get go, but to just keep throwing away games. Please help!!!
I asked a student recently if they knew the Corsicana High School fight song. Her reply was “Yes, I do.” I then asked her to sing it. She immediately began singing “All Hail Corsicana.” I told her that I was glad that she knew the school song. I politely told her that there was a difference in the fight song and the school song. I let her know that the fight song was the song the band plays when the football team runs out or scores a touchdown. All CHS Tigers should know the fight song. The lyrics are:
Fight, Fight, Fight, all you Tigers!
Keep your spirit strong.
Go, Go, Go, for a touchdown!
Le’t keep rolling on.
Fight, Fight, Fight, all you Tigers!
Watch your colors shine.
T-I-G-E-R-S! Tigers Fight!
Music by Hub Hill; Lyrics by Chet Vaughn and Bud Wright; Written in 1947
I would like to give a shout out to the Turning Points program. The admin, faculty, and staff do such a great job working with our students daily. We have many students who are graduating who may not have had the opportunity to graduate without this great program. Please watch the following video to hear form students and staff of this great program.
Turning Points VideoI would like all of the students who participated in the Hour of Code. I really appreciate the teachers who facilitated the process. The Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer programming, designed to demystify code and show that anyone can learn programming. Glad that we had many students write lots of lines of code.

Corsicana High School now has a jazz band! They made their debut at the band Christmas concert and they were an instant hit. I loved it! The students sounded great. It was awesome to see the audience grooving to their smooth soulful tunes.
