As a reminder, regular attendance is essential for student success. Under Texas law, students must attend at least 90% of the days a class is offered to earn course credit. Excessive absences even if excused may result in a loss of credit. Please note that Cumberland Academy High School will not offer Saturday School for attendance recovery during the 2026–2027 school year. Students should attend school every day and arrive on time to remain eligible to earn credit. Review image below.

Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just love a good race, we'd love to have you join us as we build this program from the ground up.
