If you’ve seen any of my tweets lately you may have noticed that I have ended many of them with the hashtag #SpiritofExcellence.  There is an ongoing conversation with the faculty and staff of Corsicana High School about how we all must be excellent everyday.  We must be excellent everyday in everything we do.  We will all work hard together to make Corsicana High School the greatest school in the state of Texas. No longer will it be “Ok to be ok.”  This will be the same message that we will talk to our students about.  They must give their best at everything they do as well.  In the classroom, in our fine arts programs, and the field of play. We are excellent!  We are Corsicana High School!

If you are like me you are a little bummed that the college football season has come to an end.  What’s even tougher is that football as a whole is about to shutdown for a while.  Hopefully I will get into college basketball and start some dialogue about that.

School Board Appreciation Month
January is school board appreciation month in Texas.  We would like to say thank you to our school board members for all of their hard word and dedication to the students, faculty, and staff of Corsicana High School and Corsicana ISD.  The members are Scott Watkins, President; Leah Blackard, Vice President; Barbara Kelley, Secretary; and trustees Kerri Donica, Rev. Ed Monk, Terry Seth, and John Saberton.

Midterm Exams
Midterm exams will begin this week at Corsicana High School.  The exams will begin Wednesday and will end this Friday.  Students, please participate actively in class as your teachers work with you on review items.  Please find time to study at home as well.  We will have early dismissal Thursday and Friday of this week at Corsicana High School.  We will dismiss at 12:20 on both days.  Buses will run at 12:50 pm.  I will post the midterm exam schedule here: Midterm Exam Schedule

Extracurricular Activities 
Soccer season has begun!  Both the boys and girls soccer teams have been active in scrimmages and tournament play.  Our soccer programs have been very successful in the past and we expect them to continue their winning ways this year.  Go Tigers!  #SpiritofExcellence #HomeofChampions

Wow!  Did you attend the basketball game last Friday?  If you didn’t, you missed a treat.  This was one of the most exciting basketball games that I have been to since I have been a Corsicana Tiger!  It was great to sweep Whitehouse!  Our girls improved to 3-0 in district play and our boys are now 1-0 in district play. They will face Jacksonsville this Tuesday in Jacksonville!  Go Tigers! #Spiritof Excellence #HomeofChampions

The UIL academic season is upon us.  I have always loved UIL academics and I am excited about the energy that is brewing for our upcoming competition.  From Accounting to One Act Play we will do all we can to bring home championships!  Go Tigers! #SpiritofExcellence #HomeofChampions
