Not only did our students take on the ring, but so did some great faculty and staff! We had receptionists, teachers of all grade levels, administrators, occupational therapist, instructional coaches, librarians, and paras all give up their Saturday morning to support the students and exhibit their animals. A big, big thank you for investing in our students in and out of the classroom!

This week, NHS students celebrated National School Counselors Week by creating heartfelt gratitude cards for our amazing high school counselors - Mrs. Coghlan, Mrs. Kallina, and Mrs. Terrazas.
From encouraging words to personal thank-you notes, each card was a small reminder of the big impact our counselors make every single day. Thank you for listening, supporting, and guiding us to be our best—today and always!

Students teamed up with peers from other districts to design, create, and market a product addressing a real-world challenge faced by the nuclear power industry. In just a day and a half, our students researched their problem, collaborated across teams, designed and built a prototype, and presented their solution to a panel of judges.
We’re incredibly proud to share that 3 of the 5 Power Up members from El Campo earned awards!
John and Avery's team took home 1st place, and Kristy’s team earned 2nd place.
Outstanding work by these students, your creativity, teamwork, and innovation truly shined!
