Introducing the Endeavor Yearbook Class!
For the first time ever, Endeavor High School will have a yearbook!
Last year, two Endeavor students approached Mrs. Thurik with a simple question: Could Endeavor have its own yearbook? That idea sparked something bigger, and this year, a brand-new Yearbook Class was created to make it happen!
Offered during 5th period, the Yearbook Class will give students the opportunity to capture the people, memories, activities, and moments that make Endeavor special. Throughout the school year, students will design and create our inaugural yearbook, which will be available for all Endeavor students to purchase throughout the year. Yearbooks will be delivered approximately two weeks after graduation, making it a special keepsake to remember the 2026–2027 school year.
Want to be involved but can't make the 5th-period class work with your schedule? Talk to Mrs. Thurik! There may be other ways to contribute, including being on the yearbook committee that meets periodically during Activity Period, giving even more students a chance to help create this year's book.
And that's not all! Yearbook students will also be contributing to the campus newsletter with a weekly spotlight called The Eagle's Eye, highlighting the people, accomplishments, activities, and moments happening around Endeavor.
It's our first year, our first yearbook, and the beginning of a new Endeavor tradition! 🦅📸

The Pool Table by Aldo Aguayo
The pool table has been at Endeavor for a while, and it has become one of the places where students like to hang out and have fun. Students play throughout the day, and some even stay after their classes are over just to get in a few more games.
Now, the table is a little crooked, but we still make it work. We’ve also gone through quite a few pool sticks because, for some reason, they always seem to break. We’ve had pool balls disappear, too, but luckily we got some new ones.
Basically, the pool table has been through a lot—but somehow, it’s still standing and students are still playing. That’s what makes it part of Endeavor.
Getting a Jumpstart on College by Marilyn Hernandez
This week students in Dual Credit and Contemporary math classes went on a field trip to San Jacinto College! They toured the North campus on Thursday, September 10th. After touring, they made a pit-stop at Wingstop and Starbucks!
Activity Day!
Open House
🦅Tuesday, September 22, from 5:00–7:00 PM 🏫
Students and their families are invited to Endeavor's Open House! This is a come-and-go event, so stop by anytime during the evening to visit our campus, meet your student’s teachers, ask questions, and learn more about the programs and opportunities available at Endeavor. We can’t wait to welcome our Endeavor families! ❤️🖤
Reminder: Class Begins at 8:25 AM!
As we settle into the school year, we want to take a moment to remind everyone that classes begin promptly at 8:25 AM. Arriving on time is essential for students to maximize their learning experience and ensure they don’t miss any important information at the start of the day.
Being punctual not only helps students start their day off right but also fosters a sense of responsibility and respect for their education. Here are a few tips to help everyone arrive on time:
- Set a Morning Routine: Establish a consistent morning routine to help students get ready and out the door without rushing.
- Plan Ahead: Encourage students to pack their bags and lay out their clothes the night before to streamline their morning.
- Leave Early: Give yourself a few extra minutes to account for any unexpected delays, whether it’s traffic or last-minute tasks.
We appreciate your support in helping our students develop good habits that will serve them well throughout their academic journey. Let’s work together to ensure that everyone starts their day with enthusiasm and readiness!
Thank you for your cooperation, and let’s make this school year a fantastic one!
