The school board gets a glimpse into life on campus through our spotlight moments each month. This month we are excited to share a special video glimpse into the vibrant life and positive culture at Ouida Baley Middle School. Dr. Tim Benson, Baley Principal, and his team showcased their campus vision: "Every student to learn, grow, connect, and succeed." This commitment is brought to life through their focus on high expectations, strong relationships, and a supportive environment. The video also showcases the unique initiatives that build student character and belonging at Ouida Baley.

Principal Scott Merry of Royse City High School recognized the 24 students that have been recognized for their academic excellence through the College Board National Recognition Program.

Principal Merry commended these high-achieving students for meeting the program's rigorous standards, noting that this distinguished honor highlights their commitment to learning and will bolster their applications for higher education and scholarships. Read more here.
