Corsicana High School was super busy this past weekend! Softball, baseball, Ag Mechanics, FFA, the Calico Dance team, One Act Play were all in action. We are fortunate to have so many of our students involved in extra-curricular activities. I often say that school is much better when you are involved! Get involved!
I want to thank everyone who came out to the 1st “New Graduation Requirements” meeting. The turn out was great! A special shout out to the teachers, staff, and administrators that were a part of the process. You helped make it great! As principal, it is always great when you know you have so many parents that are passionate about their child’s educational future. We are truly blessed in Corsicana! There will be two more meetings: This Tuesday at 5:30 pm. and Monday, March 3 at at 12 pm. You can find more information about the information that will be presented at the meetings
here.
Corsicana High School was fortunate to have United States Representative Joe Barton on campus today. He spoke with our Dual Credit Government students. He talked to them about the day in the life of a U.S. Congressman. He also took questions from the audience. One of the questions that started a spirited discussion between the Congressman and our students was: “What is your stance on immigration reform?” It was great to have Congressman Barton on campus!

Benchmarks
Last week our students took benchmarks in English I and English II. The purpose for benchmarks is simple. It is for us to see where are students are so that we can help them if they need extra help. Even our students who do very well, must show growth each year. That means that we have to work extra hard to be very specific about how we help our students. We will take Algebra I, US History, and Biology at later dates. We will keep you posted!
Extracurricular Updates
I want to give a special shout out to the Ag Mechanics team. They received Reserved Grand Champion at the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo. They also placed second in class at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo! Go Ag Mechanics!
