Making our Mark In Texas

Parents we were extremely proud of your kids for the manner in which they came to school and were focused and ready to test today. TAKS testing requires that we abbreviate our normal class schedule to allow all students to have adequate time to complete their test. Our students were on time, focused, gave great effort and were considerate of their classmates. While testing was occurring our seniors met at 12:00 PM in the auditorium for a class meeting as we discussed spring activities and covered several items such as senioritis do's and don'ts.  

Making our Mark in Austin:
This past weekend I had the opportunity to travel to Austin to watch our wrestlers and swimmers who were competing in their State Championships. Austin was the place to be this past weekend for Dragon Fans because not only were our swimmers and wrestlers there but so were our golfers and our baseball teams. In case you have not heard OUR DRAGONS made their mark in Austin this past weekend:

• Wrestlers: Congratulation to our team of four young men who placed 13th in the State. Kody Weaver placed 3rd in State in the heavy weight division and Dominic Cruciani placed 6th in State.
• Swimmers: Congratulations to our boys team that placed 2nd in State and our girls who placed 3rd in State. I don't have time to elaborate on the disputed disqualification of our girls relay team that cost our girls the state title. They handled the decision with class and grace even though disappointed. They were great role models for the rest of us. We cant forget our Freshman diver who finished 3rd in state, congratulations Bryce Klein.
• State VASE or Visual Art Scholastic Event was held this past weekend and Victoria Orr qualified two pieces of her artwork for the State VASE Contest. Awesome!
• Our Robotics Team competed this past weekend and finished as finalist in the Southwest Regional FTC Robotics Competition.
• The Dallas Morning News selected two students this week for their Summer Internship, Congratulations to CSH junior Sean Meehan.

Hockey:

If you have not had the opportunity to watch our Hockey team, you will be amazed and impressed with how well they play as a team offensively and defensively. Last night it was my pleasure to watch our team as they played Jesuit along with a number of our students, the drumline, and parents as they won by a score of 4-3. They will begin the playoffs soon, so make plans on coming out to support our Dragons.
