20160415 SISD SA3 logoIn an effort to save money for Sharyland ISD and run the Sharyland Advanced Academic Academy more efficiently, changes will be made to the early college high school.

An early college high school is a program approved by the state to help first generation college students who are at risk of dropping out. The goal is to graduate the students with 60 college credit hours.

There are three basic models for an early college high school – stand alone, comprehensive and school within a school. Sharyland’s academy, also known as SA3, has been working as what Superintendent Robert O’Connor calls a hybrid since it opened in the fall of 2014; it’s a blend of a stand alone early college and a school within a school.

20160108 SISD Admin BuildingSharyland ISD is adopting a new vision that will set the pace for the next three to five years.

With the help of Jenny Preston and Sheri Sides, consultants from Strategic Planning for Practitioners, the district is implementing entirely new objectives, a new mission and specified criteria for the Sharyland community members to follow, in the hopes of steering the district in a positive direction.

“When Dr. O’Connor came on board, he said ‘By the way, our five-year strategic plan expired. I think I remember thinking, did we really have a five-year strategic plan?” Board President Ricky Longoria explained. “I think we did but the one thing that I hope is different about this particular plan as opposed to the plans before, is this has got to be something we eat, live and breathe every day.”

20160408 Soccer Girls GPHS vs Sharyland LG-29For the second year in a row, the Sharyland Lady Rattlers and the Pioneer Lady Diamondbacks soccer teams have advanced to the Regional Semifinal round of the state playoffs. And for the second year in a row, the cross-town rivals are one win each away from facing each other in the Regional Finals, the winner of which will be in the state final four. But first let’s look at how each team got this far.

Sharyland Lady Rattlers

After needing overtime to get past Flour Bluff in the Area Round of the playoffs last week, the Lady Rattlers took care of business against the Gregory Portland Ladycats in regulation of their Regional Quarterfinal round game Tuesday night at Pioneer High School.

20160329 Baseball Pioneer vs Sharyland LG-22Something had to give. The Sharyland Rattlers and the Pioneer Diamondbacks baseball teams faced off against each other Tuesday night and barring an act of God, or an extra inning game that would have to be suspended at midnight by UIL rules, one would emerge from this cross-town rivalry with their first district win of the season. The Diamondbacks entered the game with a 0-4 District 31-5A record and the Rattlers came in with an only slightly better 0-3 record.

While a game between two winless teams does not normally rate a write-up in the local sports pages, the fact that as the defending district co-champions and bi-district champions the Rattlers were winless and at risk of digging themselves into a hole they could not climb out of, did add a sense of urgency to the game and made it one of the more intriguing games on Tuesday night’s schedule.

Having come off a last place 1-11 inaugural season, the Diamondbacks came into Tuesday night’s game hoping to play the role of spoilers. And with a run in the top of the first and another in the top of the fourth giving them a 2-0 lead, it was starting to look as if they might get their wish.

20160401 SISD TurnOutForWhatIn the weeks leading up to the 2016 Texas Presidential Primary, the students of Sharyland High School helped raise awareness on the significance of the upcoming election and the importance of registering to vote among their peers and the community. Through their service project #TurnOutForWhat! “Your Role At the Poll!” the social studies department provided this opportunity to students as a means to becoming actively involved in the democratic process and learning about the 2016 Presidential Election.

During community events, such as Meet the Teacher Night and varsity basketball games, students handed out flyers regarding voting locations and identification requirements. In addition, participants also discussed their most pressing election issue with students while completing an interactive pin that asked them about their reason for voting. Alongside distributing information, the community events also allowed for members of the community to register to vote with an on-site volunteer deputy registrar.

Aside from spreading voting awareness in the community, the students also aimed to raise awareness among their peers.
