The Griffin Ramp was completed on Saturday, September 29th, 2018 New Braunfels, TX.

There were a total of 9 volunteers, plus 4 CLHS Jr. ROTC volunteers, all of whom persisted through the mid-morning rain downpour to complete this ramp. We always welcome the ROTC volunteers who contribute their time and talents to participate in this worthy effort and help improve their work experience. It was a joy to work alongside them. All the volunteers did a great job, as evidenced by the finished ramp, which will provide the health challenged homeowner a safe way to enter and leave the home. Many thanks to all the volunteers who gave their time on this rainy day.

Unfortunately, the primary beneficiary of this ramp was not present during the build as she was undergoing medical treatment. However, the homeowner expressed his gratitude numerous times and expressed his joy of having a ramp to facilitate his wife's needs in entering and exiting the house safely. He said he was surprised at how professional and how sturdy the ramp was in its construction.

Blessings to All

I knew at 17 years old that I wanted to be a PA. Yesterday it finally happened!! I don’t know where I’m going or what job I’ll be working but I know as a PA I’ll love what I do. I am so proud to be entering into this profession and it wouldn’t have been possible without these people here along with many others.

CONGRATULATIONS KAYLA FROM YOUR CANYON LAKE HIGH SCHOOL FAMILY

Kayla Wunderlich raised and showed the Breed Champion Duroc Gilt at The State Fair of Texas!

Danville Middle School Head Athletic Coordinator and Football Coach Mike Broaddus made a play that would touch the heart of every fan in the stands at the last home game on October 10.

While their anthem song may be “On the Road Again,” their heart song is probably “Imagine” by John Lennon or “What aWonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. As they travel the backroads, highways and creek beds that make up the Comal Independent School District, they offer a unique perspective on education, students and families.

A week before school began, seven Comal ISD teachers sat down with Governor Greg Abbott for one-on-one roundtable discussions about education issues including teacher pay, early education, special education and school finance.

The excitement of fall was in the air October 9 as Goodwin Frazier Elementary School hosted its annual Heritage Night. The event served as a celebration of New Braunfels’ history, including the smells, sounds and sights of local food, music and dance.

Kirsten Watkins, who teaches AP English and English III at Smithson Valley High School, was recently selected as a University of Chicago Outstanding Educator Award winner, based on a nomination written by one of her former students.

As students and parents prepare for back to school, the Comal Independent School District welcomes its first Director of Safety and Security, Joe McKenna, Ph.D. McKenna is leaving his post as the associate director of research and education at Texas State University’s Texas School Safety Center (TxSSC) to take on this new role for the district.

Begun in 1935, Boys State is a unique program that educates future leaders about government, civics, and patriotism in a “learn by doing” environment.
