Hawk News 5/2/2025

Only 25 days remain until graduation! Over the next two weeks, students enrolled in Advanced Placement courses will be taking their AP exams, with the opportunity to earn valuable college credit. Best of luck to all of our AP test-takers!

Please remember that all exams have moved online, so be sure to bring a fully charged Chromebook each day.

A big congratulations to Morgan Nelsen and Micah Carter for representing us at the UIL State Track Meet this morning — well done! Baseball and Softball are in playoff mode, and we’re hopeful both teams will win their series this weekend and continue their journey toward State titles.

As we approach the end of the school year, now is the time to check your grades and ensure you're on track to earn credit for all your courses. If you're not where you want to be, stay focused, continue working with your teachers, and keep showing up — your effort matters.

With unpredictable weather expected next week, please stay alert and take extra care when arriving to and leaving from school.

Let’s finish the year strong and make these last few weeks just as memorable as the rest!

The Anonymous Alerts is an anti-bullying and safety app reporting system that helps combat bullying and other negative activity in schools by empowering students to speak up. Social and peer pressure are some of the hardest obstacles for students to overcome. Students or parents can submit reports such as bullying, cyber bullying, depression, dating violence, drug or alcohol use, threats against the school, weapons on campus, and more.

The system allows for 1-way or 2-way anonymous encrypted communications between the submitters (students, parents, or community members) and District administration and/or school staff. Users of the system have the option to remain anonymous or reveal their identity when submitting a report.

We are changing photo companies for senior portraits and underclassmen pictures next year to Photo Texas. This change will include on campus senior portraits during the school day next fall. If you want to schedule an appointment at the studio, you can. Information will be coming soon about that. Our former company, Cady, has been sending out info about scheduling senior portraits. You do not need to schedule with them unless you want to use them for personal portraits. Sorry for any confusion on that.
