Summer School

Conroe ISD has several different options for summer school. 

Some students decide to take classes for the first time in summer school.  Doing this enables the student to have more open slots during the school year to take electives.  There are 2 different programs for students taking initial credit.  The first is the "accelerated" program; this program has different start dates and includes:  Alg 1, Geometry Pre-AP, Geometry, Math Models, World Geography, Spanish II, Spanish III Pre-AP, Dual Credit US History, and English 4B.  The other program runs along side regular summer school and it includes Art 1, BIM, PE, Communication Apps, Government, Economics, and Health.

Students needing to retake courses can take regular CISD summer school.  It will be offered at The Woodlands College Park.  Students can enroll at CHS until June 8th.  The last day to register for session 1 will be June 9th at College Park.

If you have any questions, please contact your counselor or Mrs. Joiner.

Black History Month

The month of February is Black History Month.  Social Studies teachers will be sharing African-American "firsts" in all their classes during the week of February 20th. 

Some amazing facts I discovered this year are:
- Jan Ernst Matzeliger invented the Shoe Lasting mashine, which connected the upper part of the shoe to the sole, a painsaking process that was usually done by hand.
-Joseph Winters invented a fire escape ladder in 1878.

What are some other amazing things you've learned about Black History this month?
