GO COYOTES !!!!!

A MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL FARABEE

As this year winds down, we need to encourage our students to finish this semester with their very best effort. This is an exciting time of the year as we celebrate so many accomplishments of our students. From Academic Awards Night and scholarships earned, NHS inductions to playoff games, it is exciting to see so many Combs students’ excelling. This being my first year at Combs High School, I am proud of the work we have accomplished and enthusiastic about the possibilities that await. Thank you for your support this year and have a great summer break.

One breath at a time

As Lorraine Cannon watched a girls volleyball game last fall, she saw s current and former students bump, spike and dig the ball during an intense match against the Mesquite Wildcats.


Cannon’s mood quickly shifted from excitement to concern. A wave of uneasiness washed over her body. She could not breathe and left the game without drawing attention to herself.

STANDOUT COYOTES

“New Beginnings” first concert at CPAC, first for international dance performances

Lights shimmered across the stage and reflected off of the sequins that decorated her outfit. Her movements were as graceful as a ribbon in the wind and her feet so quiet, that only the keys of a piano and her breath could be heard.

COUNSELORS CORNER

Congratulations Coyotes, we have successfully finished the last full week of the 2018-2019 school year!!! So many of you have worked hard to do well in class and to be involved and we are so proud of you!


Here are a few things to remember going forward:


  • Finals for Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors are Monday and Tuesday. Make sure you are prepared and ready to do well.
  • Graduation practice, Graduation, and other Senior events are taking place this weekend and next week. Be sure you know where you are supposed to be and when.
  • Students who have signed up for summer school, please watch your Jupiter mail closely. Information will be sent out shortly.
  • Summer school starts Tuesday, May 28 and runs until Thursday, June 27. Work will be completed at home and testing at school. Due to unforeseeable events, the testing center has been moved from the library to room 339, and will be open from 8am-noon, Mondays through Thursdays.
  • Summer is a great time to relax and have fun. It's also a great time to think about the next school year and make goals to maintain good grades, get better grades, be more involved in sports or campus activities, and start preparing for your future.

The Counseling Department is so appreciative of Administration and of our wonderful teachers and all they do for our Coyotes and their families. We look forward to the new adventures that the 2019-2020 school year brings, and to working with our students again. Have a safe, fun, and exciting summer....see you next year!
