Last weekend our Jazz band received a superior rating and we had 7 outstanding soloists recognized! Thanks to Guerrina Espazra and Alicia Perkins for leading our band. Our Theater Arts students received a superior rating at the UIL competition, as well as, many individual awards! Thanks to Amy McFarlane for her dedication as our Theater Director. We have 2 robotics teams moving on in their competition level! Great job to those students and sponsors Chuck Barksdale and Jason Torres. Our tennis team is doing outstanding with a 3-0 record! Congratulations to those students and coach Jason Torres.
