The Texas Music Educator's Association TMEA honored their All-State Musicians in Sand Antonio last weekend. Dane is on in the top 3% of student musicians in the state. He is in the top 8 trombones in the state.

TMEA All-State is the highest honor a Texas music student can receive. Over 1,700 students are selected through a process that begins with over 64,000 students from around the state. Nicholas Edwards (11) , Gage Evans (11), and Samuel Holmes IV (12) performed with the TMEA Tenor-Bass Choir this weekend and were Top 9 Chairs in each of their voice parts.

Congrats Anthony Martinez (49-4) and Garrett Wing (44-4). Both competed this weekend at the state wrestling meet at The Berry Center.

Student feedback is an essential part of effective learning at Mayde Creek High School. For this reason, we are asking for our parents support as we roll out our Secondary Student Interest Survey over the course of the next two weeks (February 19 - March 2).

The purpose of the survey is to assess student interest in educational programs currently offered by Katy ISD such as dual credit, career and technical education, and JROTC, as well as programs we are exploring for future implementation.

This is a 15-minute survey was administered during advisory on Thursday last week. Students may also receive a personalized link for the survey to their Katy ISD email address that they may access ahead of time.

If you have any questions or concerns about the survey, please feel free to contact Mayde Creek High School.

Thank you for your ongoing support of our campus and programs!

Mayde Creek High School’s UIL One Act Play competition piece is Silent Sky by Lauren Gunderson.

Much in the spirit of the 2016 film Hidden Figures and based on real events, Silent Sky brings to life the work of astronomer Henrietta Leavitt, who in the early 20th Century rose high above her duties as a “computer” at Harvard and developed the techniques that led to the first discovery of galaxies beyond our own.

Silent Sky features a tight ensemble cast including Glendaliris Torres-Greaux, Samuel Oladejo, Ashley Galan, Bailye Salas, and Savannah James.

A pre-contest performance will take place at the Mayde Creek High School Performing Arts Center on March 6 at 7:00 P.M. Tickets will be $6 and will be available in March at www.mchstheatre.org or may be purchased at the door.
