As the lead faculty foodie on campus, Mr. Garza organizes, plans, and prepares the menu for the once of month food club students can be part of. This month was Asian-inspired. The students are lead through preparing, cooking, and plating the food during our activity period. During lunch, they get to enjoy eating their creations and the faculty and staff get to indulge as well.

Interquest Cares visits our campus once a month to provide an opportunity for students to decompress, relax, and just relish in the unconditional love that their comfort dog, Nugget brings to their interactions. Students can sign up for small group or one-on-one time with Nugget as well as interact with him in the mornings, in some of their classes as he visits them, and during the activity period.

For more information on the program, please follow this link to learn more.

Our activity period was very busy today. In addition to the food club meeting and normal activities students have every Friday, potential graduates worked with our counselor, Mrs. Salinas to complete the Apply Texas application to enroll at San Jacinto Community College.

Parent conference day is Monday, February10. Parents of those students who may be struggling in a class will be contacted to have a meeting. Conferences can be in person, on line, or by telephone. If you are not contacted and would like to talk with your child's teachers, please contact our front office to schedule a meeting.
