Congratulations to all of our outstanding students who competed at the Area tryouts today in Calallen. This level of competition represents some of the finest young musicians in the state of Texas.
Out of the eight students who proudly represented Jourdanton, we are honored to announce that Ian has earned a place in the TMEA-ATSSB All-State Band, marking Jourdanton’s first All-State musician since 2024.
Being selected for the TMEA-ATSSB All-State Band is one of the highest honors a Texas band student can achieve, and Ian will represent our program at the state level this February. This is an exceptional accomplishment and a moment of great pride for our school and community.
Congratulations, Ian, on this remarkable achievement!

Students from the 7th–12th grade Life Skills program recently delivered gifts to the junior high staff as a gesture of appreciation. The activity provided students with an opportunity to practice important life skills such as social interaction, communication, responsibility, and community involvement. The students took pride in sharing kindness and gratitude, and the junior high staff warmly received the gifts. This meaningful experience helped strengthen relationships within the school community while reinforcing positive behavior and real-world skills.

Due to the rainy weather we had and the field being wet, we’ve decided to cancel our Christmas movie event. While we’re disappointed to miss this time together, we’re truly grateful for the rain here in South Texas. Thank you for understanding, and we look forward to gathering again soon. 🎄🌧️
🐄🌾 Ag Fair Day Fun! 🌾🐖
Our PK–3rd grade students had an amazing time at Ag Fair Day, hosted by our outstanding Ag Department! From seeing pigs, rabbits, lambs, goats, steers, and chickens up close, to cheering on friends during a stick horse race, there was excitement around every corner.
Students also watched a cow being milked and learned how agriculture plays an important role in our world—what a hands-on learning experience!
They also learned how stinky animals can be! ( check out the pictures below )
A huge thank you to all of our Ag teachers and Ag students who put in countless hours to make this day such a success. Your hard work created memories and learning moments our students won’t forget. 🌟
What a fantastic day celebrating agriculture anducation! 🚜✨

🎉 Congratulations to Julian Ayala and Jaden Cearley! 🎉
We’re excited to announce that both students have successfully taken — and passed — their WISE Chromebook Certification exam! This is a significant accomplishment and reflects their dedication to building strong technical and repair skills.
The WISE Chromebook Certification is recommended for technicians in retail locations, repair depots, and school campuses who perform Chromebook repairs. It’s also valuable for IT professionals managing large fleets of Chromebooks in educational or enterprise settings, as well as those working in K–12 depot programs. Line managers at WISE Authorized Service Centers (ASC) are required to earn this certification to ensure compliance with WISE ASC standards.
By earning this certification, Julian and Jaden have demonstrated that they are ready to take on real-world technical responsibilities and contribute to maintaining and repairing the devices that keep classrooms running.
👏 Great job, Julian and Jaden! Your hard work and commitment truly stand out!
