Scholar(s) of the Week

Every week we award one or two scholars with ‘Scholar of the Week.’ Teachers nominate scholar(s) who show exemplar achievement in grades, mastery (both growth and overall performance), attendance, and our core values.

Congratulations to our 'Scholars of the Week' for Week 28: Ms. June Cazares and Mr. Guillermo Ruiz. Their ‘Sweating the Small Stuff’ approach is seen everyday in their actions. June is a Word Master and Guillermo is almost a Math Genius. Way to go scholars! Keep working hard in all of your classes to be prepared for the STAAR.
