“NO MATTER WHAT THE SCORE, THE CONNALLY SPIRIT WILL NOT BE UPSET!” Our Cadets came up short against a tough team from Alvarado tonight.

Are you curious about what an Intervention Friday looks like at Connally ISD? It looks like a lot of exciting opportunities for our students and staff! Intervention Fridays gives our students the opportunity to work in small groups with a wide variety of faculty members as they hone their academic skills. But that's not all! It also gives our various teams, clubs, and organizations extra time to meet and practice, providing some great enrichment for our kids! Our faculty enjoy having the opportunity to meet and plan on these Fridays - it helps minimize stress for the upcoming week! A full copy of this year's instructional calendar (including all of our intervention dates) can be found here: https://5il.co/2r8xx

We are excited for tomorrow's varsity football game against the Grandview Zebras! Please take a moment to review our Athletic Event Regulations. The fun of Friday Night Lights can only happen if our students and guests are working hard to uphold the #CadetStandard! Please be mindful that any student enrolled in 8th grade or below must be accompanied by an adult at all times throughout the game. We ask that fans remain seated in the stands unless they are actively headed to the restrooms or concession stand. Fans that are found to be in noncompliance of these guidelines will be asked to leave the game without a refund. Connally ISD administrators can be found patrolling areas under the bleachers and around the restrooms and concession stands. If you have a concern, please do not hesitate to reach out to an administrator so that they may help resolve any issues. A full list of stadium guidelines can be found here: https://www.connally.org/page/athletic-event-regulations

All Connally ISD campuses will be closed on Friday, September 13. Students will report back to school on Monday, September 16. We hope that everyone enjoys their long weekend! A full copy of this year's calendar can be found here: https://5il.co/2r8xx

GOOD NEWS ALERT! Congratulations to CHS Alumnus Josh Edwards (Class of 1996) for his 3rd place finish in the Mongol Derby! The Mongol Derby is grueling competition in which contestants ride over 600 miles on horseback. Competitors are limited in what items they can bring, and must switch horses each day. Josh was able to finish the 10 day race in just 8 days! Josh was an active student throughout his time at Connally High School. It brings Cadet Nation great pride to watch as one of our graduates represents the #CadetStandard at some of the highest levels of competition in the world! You can learn more about Josh's accomplishment at this link: https://www.kwtx.com/2024/09/12/waco-native-competes-mongol-derby-finishes-3rd/
