EXCITING OPPORTUNITY FOR MRS. HOPPER'S THEORY CLASSES - Students in Mrs. Hopper's theory class had the unique opportunity to participate in a Zoom call with a current Texas A&M Medical student.

Before the call, students researched what it takes to become a physician and were asked to come up with three thoughtful questions to ask during the meeting. This preparation enabled them to engage meaningfully and make the most of their experience.

This was a fantastic opportunity for the students to gain firsthand knowledge and inspiration directly from those currently pursuing a career in medicine. Thanks to Texas A &M for always reaching out to help our students.

🎉Happy National Principals Month! Thank you to the incredible principals who lead with dedication and inspire our students and staff every day. Your impact is invaluable!
