Exciting Start to the New Year!!!

REACH High School is very blessed to have the support of Gary S. Jones, Superintendent, the CISD Board of Trustees, Central Office, Transportation, Food Services, as well as all the other campuses among the district. As principal of the campus, it is so joyful to get to work with a group of students who very much appreciate this support. The district consistently pulls together to provide all the best circumstances and resources for our students to take part in a successful learning environment. REACH High School is a "school of choice" and one that is not required by the State of Texas in any district. Our students, who are at risk of dropping out of school, have a chance to excel as successful learners and citizens. The fact that our shareholders can see the need for an alternative school within the district, regardless of the extreme expense, speaks volumes for the care the district shows to each individual student. CISD is taking REACH a step further in 2015 by offering the students' bus service to and from school. Tomorrow will be the first day the service begins and we are very excited to see the students take advantage of our new commodity. When I addressed a small group of students regarding our policy for 45 minute early release on Fridays for those with perfect attendance and the fact they would not be able to leave early, Robert replied, "No, you don't need to find another way to reward us for perfect attendance. Having a ride to and from school is reward enough!" All the other students agreed in unison. Thank you so very much CISD for your support of REACH High School
