Hello Titans!

This is it. The final week of the 2022-23 school year!  As we prepare for finals week, I want to take this opportunity to say thank you for allowing me to be your principal these past four years.  It has been my greatest honor.  I cannot say enough about the quality of our teachers, support staff and community members (especially our PTSA) in making this school a special place for students.  I have so many fond memories to take with me and I will now simply be an Eastlake Parent!  I look forward to Eastlake next phase under the leadership of Dianne Huslin -- an amazing principal and advocate for students.  Continue to be an amazing community by staying involved and supporting our school.  We have the most amazing collection of students. They are talented individuals who are going to make a great difference in the world!

This past week, EHS hosted a Rememberance Flame in honor of Memorial Day Weekend.  It was an amazing display of support for our miliary families and it captured the respect that we have for our Armed Forces and those who died serving our great country.  Let's take time to reflect on our Armed Forces and their sacrifices.   Please see some of the amazing pictures below.  I want to give a special thanks to Mindy Hayes, AC1 Austin and our MFLAC counselors, Leticia and Sandy, for making the dream of a Rememberance Flame a reality!

Please take some time this week to thank the great staff of EHS.  They are tremendous and put their heart and soul into our kids and community.  I hope you have a great summer break and do check in with your counselors this week for future planning.  I hope to see many of you at graduation this week.  Let's make it a great final week.

If you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns, please reach me at ricardo.cooke@sweetwaterschools.org or set up an appointment with my awesome administrative assistant, Karina Campos at karina.campos@sweetwaterschools.org.  Please review the following information below for important items this week. 

Keep up the great work Titans!
