Finish Strong!

As we transition to the final weeks of school, I have a simple challenge to all of our students!  Finish stronger than you started!  You are an amazing group of students who have been great this year!  You have shown great character, won championships, responded positively in challenging situations, and stayed true to what a Corsicana Tiger represents.  Let’s make sure that we do not do anything in the final weeks of the school year that can erase all of the great things you have done this school year.  Go Tigers! #HomeofChampions

STAAR Testing
We will have another round of STAAR EOC testing at CHS next week.  Students will take the Algebra 1, Biology, and U.S. History tests.  Students in grades 9, and 11, and some 10th graders will take these exams.  The schedule is as follows:
Algebra 1: Tuesday, May 6th
Biology: Wednesday, May 7th
U.S. History: Thursday, May 8th
If you are impacted by testing please make sure you get a good night’s rest and report to your posted testing room at 7:40 am each morning.
