Focusing Our Commitment to Unlimited Success!
A Message from the Principal
Incredible Parents,
We know that the emotional and mental well-being of your children is crucial, as it directly impacts their ability to thrive and succeed in various aspects of life. As parents and caregivers, you play a pivotal role in fostering good mental health in your children, and we are here to support and guide you in this journey.
Below I have linked a few podcasts that I think would be beneficial to you. The episodes linked include topics like self-harm and navigating relationships with adult children.

Your support and commitment to the mental health and well-being of yourselves and our students are invaluable in making our school community a place where everyone can thrive. Thank you for your dedication to your children and our school community. We encourage each of you to take time to care for your own well-being as well. Please let us know how we can help you and your child to have a wonderful experience at our school.
Respectfully,
Mark Sims

Toy Drive
If you have noticed the large box in the front office, it means that the annual Community Toy Drive is underway. This year’s theme is “Every Child Deserves a Christmas.” We are collecting NEW unwrapped toys for children of all ages for the Channelview Fire Department to ditribute. If you would like to give for those who are unable to, bring a toy by Friday, December 1st.
SAT and ACT Info
What is the ACT/SAT test?
Both the SAT and the ACT are nationally administered, standardized tests that help schools evaluate your application and see how prepared you are for college courses. The SAT and ACT generally cover the same topics. Both ACT and SAT scores are used for college admissions decisions and awarding merit-based scholarships. Most colleges do not prefer one test over the other. Neither the SAT nor ACT is harder than the other. Different students tend to do better on one test than the other.
ACT Vs. SAT Which is right for you?
Take a quiz to find which is right for you!
