Wishing you and your family a restful Spring Break!
Students have been testing for the last few weeks, and it will continue upon their return. We encourage them to rest and reset to be adequately prepared for the last nine weeks of school.
Tutorials are available to better prepare for TSI, EOC, and AP tests (see schedule below).

Mrs. Linda Tolman
My name is Mrs. Tolman, and I am the 9th Grade AVID teacher. I come from a family of educators who firmly believe that learning never ends.
During the summer of 2021, I was certified as a Yoga Instructor with Breathe for Change. A program that is designed to create Social Emotional Learning Facilitators and teaches how to guide trauma-informed yoga. We have successfully brought yoga into our campus and offer two yoga classes before school. Seeing the practice come to fruition on our campus has been amazing. During the 2021-2022 school year, I served as a Teach Plus intern, where I had the opportunity to co-author a request for Texas Policy Change. In November 2022, I completed a 300 Hour yoga course, which now makes me a 500-hour certified yoga instructor. I was also recently appointed to the City of Brownsville's LGBTQ Task Force.
I have completed my Masters of Science Education in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment and am currently pursuing my Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction. This summer, I was awarded two scholarships for my advocacy work with our students, projects that began as a result of my coursework.
