Hello BOMLA family!

We have enjoyed a warm up outside and brothers are beginning to thaw out as they continue to work towards excellence on the campus. They are being showcased in the classroom, on the stage, and outside of the campus as well. Our debate team, band and choir have had big performances and brought back multiple awards from their performances. We also have a group of 40 brothers that were ambassadors for a District sponsored event put on by the Racial Equity Office. Our brothers are truly beginning to embody the words of our creed. We believe that success is brought about by perseverance, not chance.

I am so proud of the work that they have put in and they continue to put in. Thank you parents for your support and I am excited about our collaboration to ensure that our brothers are successful.

Have a great weekend and we will see you all on Monday!

BELIEVE! ACHIEVE! SUCCEED!

¡Hola familia BOMLA!

Hemos disfrutado de un calentamiento afuera y los hermanos están comenzando a relajarse mientras continúan trabajando hacia la excelencia en el campus. Se exhiben en el aula, en el escenario y también fuera del campus. Nuestro equipo de debate, banda y coro han tenido grandes actuaciones y han obtenido múltiples premios por sus actuaciones. También tenemos un grupo de 40 hermanos que fueron embajadores de un evento patrocinado por el Distrito y organizado por la Oficina de Equidad Racial. Nuestros hermanos realmente están comenzando a encarnar las palabras de nuestro credo. Creemos que el éxito se logra con la perseverancia, no con la casualidad.

Estoy muy orgulloso del trabajo que han realizado y continúan haciendo. Gracias a los padres por su apoyo y estoy entusiasmado con nuestra colaboración para garantizar que nuestros hermanos tengan éxito.

¡Que tengáis un buen fin de semana y nos vemos a todos el lunes!

¡CREER! ¡LOGRAR! ¡TENER ÉXITO!

• Counselor is currently "cleaning" the 2025-26 course requests for Rising 7th through 12th grades. Cleaning is a process to which the counselor reviews historical grades/transcripts, TEA policies and graduation requirements, endorsement sequences, and current schedules and compare them with their requests to make sure each student has what he needs for graduation. This is process began February 24th and will continue throughout the month of March.

• Senior dates for success and completions are quickly approaching. Their final dates are around mid-May. Make sure your seniors are maintaining averages of 85% or higher in all classes, all assigned Reconnect classes are mastered by the end of March if applicable, and that attendance is PERFECT.
