Free college application week is here through Applytexas.org. Please be patient with the website, reports are coming in that it is lagging due to heavy volume of use. Mrs. Colwell met with seniors last week one on one and many have already been accepted to an institution of high education. If your student has not applied to college, university, or trade school, this is the week to do it while all application fees are waived! Please reach out to Mrs. Colwell if you have any questions or need help!



Let’s give a shoutout to the awesome team that keeps our Wildcats full and ready to learn! 🐾 Stop by the cafeteria this week and celebrate with a smile (and maybe your favorite lunch too 😉).




⏰ JV at 12:15 PM | Varsity at 1:00 PM




Seniors, this is your chance to apply to many Texas colleges and universities with no application fee! From October 11th to 19th, you can take advantage of this statewide opportunity to save money while taking the next step toward your future.
Don’t wait—check which colleges are participating and get those applications in! ✅
If you need help with applications, essays, or sending transcripts, stop by the counseling office. Let’s get those Wildcats ready for college success! 🐾🎓


Our Varsity Girls fought hard and brought home a 4th Place Team Finish, while our Junior High Boys dominated the course with a 1st Place Team Title!
We’re so proud of all our runners for their determination, teamwork, and Wildcat pride at the District Meet in Irion County!
🐾 Way to go, Wildcats!
