Mr. Jennings, Ms. Robinson, and Mrs. Fourtney have worked hard to ensure that every senior has access to information related to senior year milestones and events.

In order to keep a safe and orderly campus, we have long implemented several bathroom use policies to ensure that time in the classroom is maximized and bathrooms are kept safe for student use. At all times there are two sets of bathrooms open for students to use with permission and a pass from the classroom teacher. Bathrooms are locked for the first ten minutes and the last ten minutes of class, because this is when instruction is being given by the teachers and when final assignments are being collected. We don't want students to miss these two important learning moments. We also keep bathrooms closed during transition because it helps keep students on time for class rather than being tardy.

Students should never be denied use of the bathroom regardless of the bathroom schedule if there is an emergency. If this occurs, the parent is encouraged to email Principal Stewart.

The clinic restroom is only used for medical emergencies and not an available restroom for students on a general pass to the bathroom from class. They will be turned away and asked to use a regular bathroom by clinic staff.

Congratulations to our JROTC for making a positive impact in our community by collecting over 2000 cans for the Brevard Sharing Center's Feed the Need event in October! We are continuously impressed by the perseverance and empathy demonstrated by our cadets!

Thanks to the sponsorship by SpaceX, our Cocoa Tigers were treated to a special VIP field trip to UpSummit/ NASA Max Power this past Saturday! It was an amazing day filled with all kinds of cool treats, like getting up close and personal with the Falcon 9 booster. We are grateful to live in a community that supports our students and to have partnerships like this one with SpaceX that helps students learn first hand the amazing opportunities that exist for them right here in Brevard!

Cocoa High is proud to be an AVID school. AVID strategies are intended to help all students improve their academic skill set. A big part of doing well in school is about learning tips and tricks that help you be a better student. At Cocoa High, every grade level has an AVID elective class, and to be part of the AVID program, students can apply or speak to our AVID coordinator Mr. Kokal. Schoolwide we incorporate the AVID instructional strategies related to WICOR (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading), because we know that these are the skills that ALL students need to be college and career ready. AVID is a mindset that connects to our school mission, which focuses on post-secondary preparedness and planning. This short video will tell you more about what AVID is and why it benefits our students.
