Records indicate that Layne Ward is the first Coyote EVER to advance to the STATE tennis tournament for boys singles! That is no small feat (especially considering the closest courts are 15+ miles from school) .While he did fall short in San Antonio this morning, we are so proud!

Last week, we held our annual Senior Robing Ceremony. This is a tradition Ms. Sharkey started a few years ago to allow our students time to reflect on the educators who have poured into them over the years. Each senior chooses on educator to honor and in return, the educator robes the student.
