First Rattler Recap 26-27
Congratulations to Senior, Harper McGee for being named All Tournament at the Wildcat Classic this past weekend. Way to represent Lady Rattler Athletics!
Join us in the SMHS Snake Pit on Tuesday, September 1, as the Lady Rattlers host Canyon Lake at 6PM! Tuesday's game is Teacher Appreciation Night!
De Zavala Diamonds spent the day strengthening skills across science, math, and language arts through hands-on learning and meaningful practice.
Ms. Escalante guided students in developing a strong hypothesis and observing the properties of different materials through an investigation with cornstarch, oil, and water. In math, Ms. Beck brought place value to life with an engaging movement activity, while Ms. Soper’s class worked with like units to strengthen mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills. In language arts, Ms. Woodard guided students through personal narratives, including proper subject pronoun usage when using phrases such as “my friends and I.”
Each and everyday our students are learning by doing, asking questions, and applying their knowledge all day long!
Congratulations to our incredible art educators and visual arts students! We are proud to celebrate this outstanding recognition from the Texas Art Education Association for the 25-26 academic year.
Out of more than 1,200 eligible districts, only 109 districts received this prestigious honor. Our visual arts program met or exceeded a rigorous 14-point rubric recognizing excellence in areas including TAEA participation, student exhibitions and contests, community engagement, field experiences, service, collaboration across content areas, and meaningful visual arts learning at every grade level.
This achievement is a true reflection of the creativity, passion, dedication, and leadership of our talented art educators. Thank you for inspiring our students, fostering creativity, and ensuring the arts continue to thrive throughout our schools and community! Congratulations to everyone who made this recognition possible!
Wednesday, August 19 marked the first day of the 2026-2027 academic year, and we could not be more thrilled to have our classrooms full, hot and healthy meals served in every cafeteria, bus routes safely operating and young minds being nurtured by our dedicated educators.
Attendance plays an important role in student success, and every day counts! Please continue to show up each day ready to learn, grow and make the most of every opportunity. We are excited for all that this school year has in store!
Starting a new school year together is always something to celebrate!
Convocation 2026 was a powerful reminder of the dedication and teamwork it takes to support our students and schools. We are grateful for every staff member, educator, and community partner who helps make a difference for our Rattlers.
Here’s to a great year, San Marcos CISD!
