Welcome to the Garza Family!

Dear Parents and Families,


We had a great week! Just a few things we did this week:


  • Dallas College opened their doors and kicked off their fall semester for traditional college students
  • 9th and 10th graders completed beginning of year tests in English I, English II & Algebra I
  • Teachers began collaborative planning meetings to discuss student success and best teaching practices
  • We closed out the week with student assemblies to share campus expectations and upcoming events with the students


During the school assembles I made sure to let the students know, especially the 9th graders, that every challenge, obstacle, and difficult situation that they will encounter will make them stronger. The experiences they gain by being part of an early college high school program are intended to prepare them for the next phase. Our school experience is designed to be challenging, but for every challenge, we have supports in place to assist the students to gain the skills they need to succeed!


We are here to support your students and give them the best school experience possible. Thank you for trusting us with your kids every day. As always, if you have any concerns please reach out. Have a safe and relaxing 3-day weekend!


Sincerely,


Chealsie Sanchez

Principal

Today, our students participated in their first assembly of the school year, where we reviewed our school-wide expectations and values. It was a great opportunity to come together as a community and set a positive tone for the year ahead.

Please take a moment to go over the assembly slides with your child to reinforce the messages shared.

Thank you for your continued support!
