Endeavor Update

August 1, 2023: Endeavor High School (EHS) announces that Rhonda Perez has been named “Region 4 Secondary Teacher of the Year.” Presented by the Board of Directors of the Region 4 Educational Support Center, the board honors Perez for her exceptional commitment to teaching and her significant impact on the lives of students.

The accolade recognizes a secondary educator from 48 school districts across eight Southeast Texas counties who have demonstrated excellence in educational best practices, innovation, and effectiveness in the classroom. Among the finalists, Mrs. Perez best embodied these qualities through her energetic efforts to create a dynamic and engaging learning environment that fosters academic excellence and personal growth among her students.

Mrs. Perez has been a valued member of Channelview ISD for 17 years and has earned the admiration and respect of both students and colleagues alike. Among her accolades is a Bachelor’s Degree in Biological Sciences from University of Houston. Her teaching methodology goes beyond conventional methods, employing a combination of interactive lectures, hands-on activities, and innovative technology integration, ensuring that students are actively involved in the learning process.

“Mrs. Perez being recognized as the region’s best secondary teacher of the year is a momentous occasion,” said EHS Principal Mark Sims. “Education is not just a profession; it’s a passion. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with such exceptional faculty and to be part of an incredible community of educators.”

Perez’s achievement was celebrated during a special ceremony hosted by Region 4 on August 1 at the Hilton Americas-Houston Ballroom. Perez will move on to represent Region 4 at the Texas Education Agency’ (TEA) Teacher of the Year Program later this Fall.

“We are incredibly proud of Ms. Perez’s accomplishments and the dedication she brings to her students,” said CISD Superintendent Dr. Tory C. Hill. “This award is a testament to her unwavering commitment to student success and the positive impact they have on our school community.”

Endeavor students were the first secondary school in CISD to receive their Chromebooks this past Wednesday. Students are expected to bring their fully charged Chromebook every day to school.

If your child was absent today, they will receive their Chromebook when they return.

Note that our Friday bell schedule is unique. To better serve our Endeavor students, we have an activity period that will include special presentations, guest speakers, student games, and/or competitions, and senior-required activities (FAFSA completion, CPR training, college application enrollment assistance, TSI, etc.).

Students who are either late arrival or early out will need to adjust their drop-off and pick-up schedule for Fridays.

Please review the schedule below.

Students received their Chromebooks, heard messages from Mr. Sims and Mrs. Salinas, and played games today.

Next week, students will be using their Chromebooks for an activity with Mrs. Slainas during the period.

Students who have a valid Texas driver's license and proof of liability on their vehicle may drive to school and park in the row closest to Sheldon Road. Students will receive a parking permit at no cost upon presentation of the needed information. Students who drive to school without a license run the risk of receiving a citation from our campus Constable and will not be allowed to drive off of the campus with their vehicle. Students who possess only a driving permit may not drive a vehicle to school.
