BRAHMA BULL-etin!
Sunday the 15th to Saturday the 21st
"You already have everything you need inside of you right now, today" - Alicia Keys
Good morning Brahma Nation! I hope this finds you well.
The school year is inching closer and closer to the end BUT we still have final exams the last week of May. The last week of school. The final exam schedule will be shared and posted soon.
Senior FINAL EXAMS start this Thursday, May 19th. Flyer Below.
In the last few weeks, we typically can see behaviors escalate or become more blatant. Just because there is only two weeks left in school doesn't mean we stop holding students accountable. Students can still be assigned out-of and in-school suspension(s) and, in worst cases, alternative school. That also means seniors can be at-risk of losing the opportunity to walk the graduation stage and all senior activities. Please take this time to speak with your children about how important their decisions are.
All lockers MUST be cleaned out by this Friday, May 20th.
For those of you who still need Saturday School, it will only be held for one more Saturday, May 21st. It starts at 8:00 AM. DON'T BE LATE. You must pre-register in the office.
The last week of school, May 23rd through May 27th, is FINALS WEEK. Flyer Below.
Summer School information is now posted on the NEISD website. The following link has useful information: https://www.neisd.net/Page/897
HORNS UP!

Phlebotomy IBC
7 out of 9 Mac students tested for their national Phlebotomy license! Of the 2 that missed the mark, they will test in 30 days and we ALL know they will do great! So MacArthur HS produced 7 fully licensed phlebotomists this year! This is an extremely difficult course and test to accomplish while still in HS. Congrats!
