Hello Eagle Nation,
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, and I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible teachers and staff who pour into our students every single day.
What many people do not see is that there is no “clock out” time for teachers.
After school hours, they are grading papers, lesson planning, answering emails, sponsoring organizations, tutoring students, preparing for the next day, and showing up for kids far beyond the school day. Here at Pasadena High School, our staff supports 42 student organizations, athletic events, competitions, performances, tutorials, and countless student activities... all because they care deeply about our students and this community, and theres no "OT" for that work.
Their work matters. Their impact matters.
We would love for our students and families to help us show appreciation to a teacher or staff member who has made a difference this year. If a teacher has supported, encouraged, challenged, or helped your student grow, please take a moment to fill out this form and share some love with them:
We also want to remind students and families that we only have a few weeks left in the school year. Now is the time to:
- Catch up on grades
- Attend tutorials
- Complete missing assignments
- Check attendance and make-up hours
Unfortunately, we have already filed to Harris County Court against several students this past week due to attendance issues. Please do not let that become your situation. Attendance matters, and by law, students must meet attendance requirements in order to receive credit for their courses.
Parents, please continue checking grades and attendance weekly through Skyward and communicating with teachers if support is needed.
Let’s finish this year strong together and continue showing what Eagle Nation is all about.
Eagle Pride Never Dies.
Mr. Friend
