The Principal's Office

I can't believe we are approaching the end of the 3rd 9 Weeks. Please remember that the end of the 3rd 9 Weeks is March the 8th. If you have any questions about your kiddo's grades, please contact your kiddo's teacher.

Owls, thank you for all of your work with Benchmark testing this week. Your scores will help our teachers as we begin to prepare for the upcoming STAAR/EOC Exams in April.

Again, thank you to CNB for the outstanding marquee in front of the high school. Pictured below are representatives from CNB, YISD, and the Class of 2024.

Our floral design teams have had recent success as well. They recently competed at Rains and performed very, very well. They also competed at the Mineola Valentine's Competition and will finish the year at our County Show in March.

Below are a few pictures of their products.

Excellent job, ladies!!!

Shoutout to our Ag Mech team. Recently, they competed in San Antonio, and represented YHS very well.

Our Digital Media kiddos have had the opportunity to Design the cover of the "Pineywoods & Water" magazine. This is our first magazine cover, and our kiddos did an AWESOME job.

Seniors, please complete the scholarship opportunity below and return it to Mrs. Garrett before Monday, April 22, 2024.

Seniors, no matter which scholarship you apply for, you will need a recommendation letter from one of the members (in the attachment below). The Quitman/Lake Fork Kiwanis Club is offering 3 scholarships this year. Two of the scholarships will utilize one of the applications and the third, our Character Award will utilize the 2nd application and it also requires 2 recommendation letters in addition to the required Kiwanis member recommendation letter. These need to be turned into Joanne Wisdom's office (now located at Rock Solid Fitness) by 3:30 pm on Friday, April 26.

We are going to begin another tradition at YHS. The tradition will be called our "CTE Certification Ceremony." During this ceremony, we will recognize any student that has obtained any type of certification this year. Examples are AWS9.1, Food Handler or Food Manager/Adobe Photoshop, etc... This ceremony will take place on 4/25/24 @ 5:30 in the Cafeteria.

Congratulations to Opal McCleary for being selected as our "Owl of the Week."

Opal's teachers reported that she "She is always willing to participate in class. She always has a smile and a positive attitude."

Awesome job, Opal!

Our Boys Basketball Season ended with a loss in the Bi-District Round of the Play-offs against Dodd City. The boys played tough throughout the game and showed a lot of character by playing until the final buzzer.

Congratulations Owls on a great season!

Our baseball boys played the Campbell Indians and won their first game of the year. We won the game 18-3. We scored two runs in the first inning. CJ Madison started on the hill, allowing zero hits over two-thirds innings. Justice Vivion came into the game to pitch, adding multiple strikeouts and giving up one hit in 1 inning. Offensively, Our Owls were led by CJ and Adien Cason. Ashton Rodriquez and Turner Hathcoat also recorded a hit and a couple of walks. Campbell struggled to throw strikes, walking 12 batters. Our owls had a total number of 15 stolen bases for the game.

Shoutout to Lilian Forward for being accepted to Texas A&M University-Commerce. At A&M-Commerce, she will be studying Agricultural Science and technology.
