Realignment and More!

by | Feb 2, 2014 | The Principalship | 0 comments

We ended the week with a bang last week with our celebration of our local pro football player Louis Vasquez.  It was great to see so much community pride in support of Mr. Vasquez.  I love when I see our community come together to support one of our own!  Go Tigers!

Louis Vasquez Day

Wow! The Superbowl didn’t end up like most of us thought it would have.  I thought it would have been a lot closer than 43-8.  We must give Seattle their props though!  They did an amazing job!  What did you think of the commercials?  I didn’t think they were as funny as they had been in the past.  It seems that they went after our emotional side more than anything! Let me know what you think! 
Corsicana Education Foundation Presents CAST
CEF is bringing the telethon back!  On February 10, 2014, CEF will once again host a “telethon,” now called CAST, which will be stream live via webcast through computers, tablets and smartphones. CAST stands for Corsicana’s Amazing Students and Teachers. CAST will be from 6-8:30 p.m. live from the Corsicana High School gym. The event will feature performances from CISD students and teachers, highlight classroom grants and CEF programs, and allow the community to make their annual support pledge for the students of Corsicana ISD.  To make an advance pledge to be announced live at CAST, please contact (903) 602-8133 or click here.

HB5 Update
Last week I spent a little time watching the State Board of Education committee meeting.  Most of the discussion centered around finalizing graduation requirements under HB5.  As I have written about many times in this space this will change the graduation plans of our incoming freshman.  I will write to you later highlighting the changes that they passed in the meeting last week.

College Information
Students and parents, we will have additional FAFSA/TASFA prep nights.  We hope we have a better turn out at the next sessions.  We received information that more people would have showed up if their tax information had been completed.  We listened!  We will have another session soon!

We want to know what college/university you have been accepted to!  Please bring your college acceptance letter to Mrs. Dockery in the assistant principal’s office.  We will post it up at the school for all to see.

UIL Debate
The UIL CX debate tournament will take place this Tuesday in Lindale.  Let’s bring back a championship!

Extracurricular Updates
We will find out Monday morning who our new UIL athletics and academics district will be beginning with the fall 2014 school year.  We will update you right here with the news!

Shout out to the CHS Krush Krew for all of their school spirit this year.  They have helped transform our games into total craziness and excitement.  Of course it helps when our teams are doing great this year!  The boys and girls basketball teams will be celebrating Senior night this Tuesday.  Come out and see our seniors getting recognized!
Another shout out goes to Danair Martin for his great dunks in the last two games.  I will go on the record for disagreeing with the refs for the weak technical fouls they have called on him after those dunks.  Keep dunking Danair!

Baseball will kickoff this week with their first scrimmage against Midway!  Please come out tomorrow at 5:00 pm to check them out.

Tennis will participate in the Highway 287 Invitational in Ennis this Friday and Saturday.
