It’s not every day an NFL star visits CommArts, but on Thursday, May 7, we received a visit from Priest Holmes when he came to award Senior Amanda Espinoza a scholarship for $1,000. She will be attending Texas A&M University this fall, joining her brother Albert Espinoza, who also attended CAHS (Class of 2007). Amanda won this scholarship by maintaining a rigorous routine throughout high school: swimming practice each morning, then a full day of academics at Communications Arts, followed by more pool time in the evening, not to mention Amanda’s nightly dedication to her homework– which has earned her a slot in the “Top Ten” of her graduating class.
The Priest Holmes Foundation is an organization committed to encouraging education and enhancing the lives of children in his community.

The end of the school year is approaching and deadlines for many scholarships are upon us! Mrs. Crowson has the scholarship applications, but students need to come by her office, pick up those applications and complete them.
Spring is here and that means it’s the best time for juniors to sign up to take the SAT. It may seem that your senior year and college applications are still far away, but taking the test now will ensure that your scores will be available in time to decide if you need to retake the test. (If you wait until fall to take the SAT, then you might not have enough time to retake the test if you need to!)
Juniors and Seniors should also visit the Go Center website not only for scholarship information, but to check out summer programs that may be of interest to you.
Important Dates to keep in mind:
SAT: May 2 test—deadline to sign up is March 31
SAT: June 16 test—deadline to sign up is May 5
