Dragons in Action

Harvard Speech and Debate Tournament
This past weekend our debate and extemporaneous speakers traveled to Boston to compete in the Harvard Speech and Debate Tournament. I had the privilege to accompany our team and was completely impressed with the way our students represented our school and community. Our school placed 9th out of 4oo schools. Congratulations to ALL our students and Coach Diane Forbes. Good Luck at State which is in El Paso February 26th.

State Bound
We have four wrestlers who qualified for the State Wrestling Tournament which begins on the February 25th in Austin. Congratulations to Coach Hathaway and Coach Dirker and our awesome wrestlers.

Swim Success
Can you believe this ...... our Boys and Girls Swimmers were not only District Champions but they both are also the Regional Swim Champions. Both teams are seeded 2nd going into the State Swim Meet set for February 26th at the UT Swim Center. We qualified 17 swimmers and 1 diver to the state meet. Hope to see you in Austin as we support our swimmers as they out dive, out kick and out touch the competition.

Pep Rally
Today we had our spring pep rally recognizing our spring sports and our basketball teams. We were entertained by our band, cheerleaders, drill team, the crew, green men and our wolkies and our screeching eagle, aka Woody. The kids are creative and seem to appreciate the efforts of their classmates.

Lady Dragons
Our Lady Dragon Basketball team will be playing Cedar Hill in their third round playoff game on Friday at 7:00 PM in Grand Prairie for the Area Championship. They are a great group of young ladies that have had a great year. See you there as we Protect the Tradition together!
