CHS Dual Credit English 1302 students visited East Texas A&M University today to present research projects focused on communities. They invested significant time and effort into developing thoughtful, well-crafted posters and presentations.

Throughout the event, our students confidently engaged with attendees, answered questions with insight, and collaborated with university-level English 1302 students—learning from one another and exchanging ideas.

They represented CHS with poise, professionalism, and knowledge, leaving a strong impression on everyone they encountered.

I feel like we often test, test, test… but we don’t always explain the WHY behind it. 🤔

So here it is 👇
The TSIA2 isn’t just another test—it’s a college readiness checkpoint that impacts your time, money, and opportunities.

In Texas, if you don’t have passing scores, you will be placed in remedial courses before you can take college-level English and Math.

And here’s what many families don’t realize 👇
Your passing scores can come from a combination of tests:
✔️ TSIA2
✔️ SAT
✔️ ACT

For example:
You can have a passing Math score from the SAT and a passing Reading score from the TSIA2.

Why this matters:
💰 Save money by avoiding non-credit remedial classes
⏭️ Skip extra courses and start in college-level classes
🎓 Qualify for dual credit opportunities
✔️ Show colleges you are college ready

Merry & Bright is one of my FAVORITE events! It's a lot of work, but so worth it for our teachers.

Last night we celebrated our teachers by gifting them letters from the seniors. Each senior chose a teacher to write a letter to, and most of the seniors even showed up to present the letters to the teachers. We honored teachers from CES, ACW, CMS, and CHS. It was a great celebration with lots of fellowship, hugs, and a few happy tears.

I promised photos, and here is the link to a Google Drive folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qY5eWkEh8NxcOA5mMPP7LHxt6XmCSnnN?usp=drive_link
