We begin STAAR End of Course exams this week at Corsicana High School and across the state of Texas. We will have four testing days this week and two next week. If you do not know, students get four hours to complete a STAAR exam. The former TAKS test allowed students to take all day on the test. Students please remember to get a good night’s sleep the night before you take a test.
The STAAR schedule:
Week 1:
The dates are as follows:
Tuesday, May 7th-Algebra I & Algebra II
