Parents,

Due to the Every Student Succeeds Act, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) is required to complete a state plan for the vision of public education in the state of Texas.  The Commissioner of Education, Mike Morath, has launched an online survey to get input from parents and the general public.  Your input will be used in developing our state vision.  Please consider taking this 10 minute survey.  They are accepting responses through November 18, 2016

Thanks for being a part of the process and supporting public education.

Homecoming Parade Drop Off and Information


Important: Walter, Larkin, and Betties Streets will be closed at 5:30 pm. Please do not pull in or park on those streets if you vehicle is not in the parade. Thanks!

All students riding on floats should be dropped off at the corner of Bordon St. and Walter St. If you have a young student, the PALS or Student Council members will be there to walk your child to their float which will be parked at the old Middle School.

No cars will be allowed to turn right onto Walter unless the vehicle you are driving is in the parade. Walter St. will be blocked off to all traffic except floats or parade entries. If you want to walk your child to their float, please park across the street in the large field across from Walter on Bordon St.

The parade route starts at 6:30 down Betties, turns left on Bordon and continues to Center. It then turns left on Center St, through downtown, past McBreyer Park. It then turns right onto Houston, continues past the Elementary School to the "alley." The parade will then turn right and proceed through the alley behind the Elementary School to the HS Gym. Trailers and floats will park on the side of the gym and drop students off to go to the HS Football Field. The community pep rally will begin as soon as the parade ends with the traditional Kindergarten/Senior walk.

Please know we have put this system in place to protect our students who will be walking on the parade route and in the lineup area. If you have any questions, please contact Cheri Borchardt at 857-3239.
