It's a Great Day to be a Bearkat with INTEGRITY!
Texas’s school financial accountability rating system, known as the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST), ensures that Texas public schools are held accountable for the quality of their financial management practices and that they improve these practices. The system is designed to encourage Texas public schools to better manage their financial resources to provide the maximum allocation possible for direct instructional purposes.

As we kick off a new school year, we're reminded that the best learning begins with the people beside us.
This year, we're committed to:
- Smiling and laughing more.
- Helping and checking on one another.
- Celebrating each other's successes.
- Pausing to rest when it's needed.
- Growing together.
Our first day back with staff wasn't just about preparing for students—it was about strengthening our team. Together, we're building a culture where everyone feels supported, valued, and empowered to make a difference.
Here's to a year filled with connection, growth, and making every day count!

Mr. Hauser was recognized as the Area 2 Outstanding Young Teacher at ATAT! For the second year in a row, he has earned this incredible honor. Each area nominates just one candidate, making Andrew one of only 12 educators across the state in the running for this prestigious award.
Congratulations, Mr. Hauser, on this outstanding accomplishment! We are incredibly proud of you and grateful for the impact you make on our students every day.
Due to timing of construction of the new asphalt for the new track and the inaccessibility of football field next week, we are going to have to cancel Kat Camp for Football this year. If we owe you a shirt, reach out to us. We apologize for this inconvenience.
