Happy May!

First, thank you to all of our families for your donations and kind words for Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week! Your support and involvement means the world to our staff, and I appreciate you all helping us spread a little joy to the phenomenal educators who serve children every day. You can also share your gratitude and encouragement by submitting an AISD Rave form HERE.

I can't believe we are in the final month of the school year with only 4 weeks left! With that being said, if your student owes attendance hours please make sure they take advantage of every opportunity to improve their attendance percentage and grades over the coming weeks. We are close to the finish line with AP Exams this week and next, and final exams right after.

One of the many honors of being Principal is getting to share memories and many accomplishments with your students. I am eager to celebrate their success at our Trustee Cougar Gold Ceremony on May 21, Senior events, and last but not least graduation on May 30!

 As we close the last month of the school year, I want to express how proud I am to be the Principal of Crockett ECHS. Our community is truly special, and I am so thankful for all of your support. Let's continue to make memories, and challenge ourselves to dream big!

Shana King

Proud Principal
