Feed the Troops
To express gratitude and support for the
US troops stationed overseas, the GHS
Student Council met a few of the soldiers
before they boarded flights at the DFW
Airport on January 19.
“The trip to the airport was a great
experience. It was fun, but it was definitely
heartbreaking to see the soldier’s concerned
faces,” Senior Stephanie Garcia said.
The students thanked the men and
women for their sacrifice and also served
them lunch as part of the Feed the Troops
program of the United Service Organization.
The mission of USO is to lift the spirits of
America’s troops and their families, and
relies on the generosity of organizations and
corporations to support its activities.
The Student Council used money raised
to pay for a complete BBQ meal for 200
troops catered by Bucksnort BBQ of Van
Alstyne. Jim Smith, owner of Bucksnort
BBQ, made this possible through his
generous contributions and donations from
his business. His willingness to serve our
troops and help the student council are
greatly appreciated.
“It was nice to give the soldiers a decent
meal before they left the United States,”
Senior Houston Pokorny said.
Before the troops arrived, the students
went through a briefing with a USO staffer
on what to expect and were encouraged to
sit down and talk to any of the troops who
were eating. Guidelines were laid out for
possible topics of discussion, as well as
those that should be avoided.
Senior Kerra Clements summed up the
experience for the students. “I thought it was
nice to do something good for our country.
Not only did it benefit the soldiers, but I also
gained a valuable experience from it. I will
never forget it.”
At the airport were: BACK ROW (Left to Right): Brent Watson, Riley Bolin, MAdeline Rowe,
Elisa Korte. MIDDLE ROW: Spencer Lashley, Reid Bolin, Jared Prock, Berenice
Becerra, Julie Galvan, Sarah Newman, Houston Pokorny, and Sponsor Lindsey Bowen.

STAAR/EOC Almost Upon Us
On March 26 and 27, all ninth graders
statewide will embark on a new journey.
This will be the first opportunity they
will have to take the English I Writing
and Reading End of Course assessment
(EOC) under the new mandated State
of Texas Assessment of Academic
Readiness (STAAR).
Beginning with this year’s 9th graders,
Mr. Teems
all students in grades 9-12 will have to
satisfactorily meet the state determined passing standard
on the following twelve core content EOCs:
English I Writing & Reading World Geography
English II Writing & Reading Algebra I
English III Writing & Reading Algebra II
Biology World History
Geometry Chemistry
U.S. History Physics
The EOC’s for the remaining core subjects at the ninth
grade level will take place later in the spring.
Other key points to know about the EOC assessments
include:
Each of the assessments will have a strict, 4 hour
time limit, unlike TAKS which had no time limit.
Each student will need to meet a minimum cumulative
score for all three assessments in each of the
four core areas. That minimum cumulative score
has not been established yet. We know it will be
totaled by adding the three passing scores for each
core area.
The minimum cumulative score needed will be
greater than the sum of meeting just the minimum
score on each of the three assessments in any and/
or all of the three assessments in the four core
content areas, according to TEA. Not only does a
student have to pass all three assessments in each
area, he/she must do better than the minimum on at
least one of the three assessments in each area to
meet the minimum cumulative score.
Are you confused yet? If not, let me see what else I can
do.
By law, each EOC will count 15% of a student’s final
grade in the corresponding course and consequently will
have an effect on a student’s GPA.
Students may retake any of these EOC exams as many
times as they like but once a passing grade on an EOC
has been earned, the additional EOC scores for the same
course cannot change the student’s final grade or GPA.
Therefore, the only reason to retake any EOC is
because a student has not passed it or they need to raise
their score for the cumulative score in that core area, or
By GHS Principal Kelly Teems
the student failed the course and another greater score
from an additional attempt would be high enough for the
15% to cause the student to gain credit for the course.
Because of the fact that the state is allowing local districts
to assign standard number scores to the scaled
score earned on each EOC, GISD has developed and
approved a policy that clearly outlines how these grades
will be assigned and also how the 15% rule will be calculated
and rolled into the final grade.
The policy also outlines how it affects students who
transfer or move into our district in high school. Please
note that there are some special rules and regulations that
may apply to some Students being served through Special
Education. The ARD committee will determine the path to
take with these students on an individual basis.
Please click on the link below to see the new STAAR/
EOC policy in full.

I know that you may have many questions concerning
this topic. Please feel free to call the high school or email
me. I will be happy to try to answer any questions you
may have.

Bank on it!
Banking on the Future is a program given to every 11th grader at
GHS. The basics of finance and banking are taught by Andy Bardach in
a six weeks course that has been offered for the past two years.
The students are exposed to finance vocabulary, and learn about
checking and savings accounts, interest rates, simple loans and how
banks operate.
Mr. Bardach presents the information in a practical and interactive
manner which helps the students relate to the financial
situations of every day life. The program is also relevant because of
today’s economic trends and the financial issues discussed in the
current presidential debates.
