DECEMBER 2025

Administration Message

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we wrap up a busy and successful month of November, we want to thank you for your continued support and partnership. This past month was filled with student accomplishments, community events, and memorable learning experiences across all our programs. From academic achievements to athletic milestones and fine arts recognitions, our students continue to make us proud, and none of it would be possible without your involvement and encouragement.

As we move into December, we look forward to finishing the semester strong. December brings important instructional time, end-of-semester assessments, holiday activities, and opportunities for our students to demonstrate everything they’ve learned so far. We ask for your continued support in helping students stay focused, attend school daily, and finish the year with pride and purpose.

The month ahead will also bring moments of celebration, joy, and reflection as we approach the holiday season. We have several events planned, and we look forward to seeing our families come together once again to support our students and campus community.

Thank you for being an essential part of the Gladiator family. November brought great momentum, and December will bring even more opportunities for growth, success, and togetherness.

Wishing all our families a wonderful start to the month of December!

Gladiators stand together, rise together!

Celebrations

Gladiator Families,

As we close out a busy and exciting month of November, we want to take a moment to share the many wonderful things happening across our campus and to thank you for your continued support.

This month brought incredible learning experiences and memorable moments for our students. Our Law Enforcement II students demonstrated their growing expertise as they practiced handcuffing, fingerprinting, and booking procedures, essential skills for their future careers. Our Next Steps Academy wrapped up their final bowling day and proudly represented our school by creating a beautiful Lotería Tree for Region One’s Enchanted Forest. Their creativity and hard work truly shined.

We're proud of our FCCLA, Spanish Honor Society and Spanish Club for volunteering at the H-E-B Feast of Sharing.

We were also honored to welcome U.S. Army Recruiter Torres, who spoke with our law enforcement seniors about the benefits and opportunities available through military service. Our Criminal Justice classes continue to engage in meaningful, real-world experiences.

On the athletics side, our Meet the Gladiators event brought our Blue and Green community together in full force! Our boys and girls basketball teams kicked off their seasons with Gladiator Pride, and our girls varsity basketball team celebrated their first win of the year. A special thank you to our incredible Cheerleaders and Gladiator Band for bringing the energy and supporting our athletes. We also congratulate Coach Herrera, who was selected to coach the All-Star Volleyball Team, an outstanding recognition of her leadership and dedication.

We are especially proud of our wrestling coaches and students, who launched our first-ever wrestling program and competed in their first matches. This is a historic moment for our campus, and we look forward to cheering them on all season.

Our fine arts program continues to excel, with several students participating in All-Region Orchestra and Band. Congratulations to our talented musicians and a big thank you to our orchestra and band directors for preparing them so well.

We also celebrated an exciting academic milestone as several of our students completed their coursework and will be graduating this fall with their associate degree. We applaud their hard work, perseverance, and early-college achievement.

Last but certainly not least, our district came together for the 2nd Annual Turkey Trot, organized by Mrs. Martinez. It was a fantastic community event filled with fun, energy, and connection, thank you to everyone who participated and supported this tradition.

As we return from Thanksgiving break, our teachers came back energized and ready to finish the semester strong. We are grateful every day for their commitment to our students.

Thank you, parents, for your ongoing partnership and encouragement. November was filled with success, teamwork, and pride, and we look forward to an amazing December ahead.

Gladiators Stand Together, Rise Together!
