Happy Cinco de Mayo Week, Falcons!


We’re in the final stretch—just four weeks left in the school year! As we wrap up this chapter, let’s make every moment count and celebrate all the milestones along the way.


This week, we’re excited to host two special events:

  • 🎓 Decision Day – Let’s cheer on our Seniors as they commit to their futures and take their next big steps!
  • 🎶 CoacHilla: End-of-Year Dance – Get ready to dance the night away and celebrate all that we’ve accomplished together.


Let’s finish the year strong—together, we rise!


*translation: Health, love, money, and time to enjoy it!

¡Celebrating Cinco De Mayo In The Classroom!

Contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo doesn't commemorate Mexican independence. Rather, it celebrates the victory of Mexican forces at the battle of La Puebla. We've put together a list of resources to help students and teachers explore this holiday as well as Mexican-American culture.

Cinco de Mayo Activities: Authentic Ideas for Home or Class

Inside: A collection of Cinco de Mayo activities and lessons for home or school. Cinco de Mayo is a weird day if you're a Spanish teacher. On the one hand, you might recoil at the mass production of stereotypes: sombreros, margaritas, and moustaches will undoubtedly abound May 5th.
