One of the best resources for our teachers is each other! Here they are sharing their yearly professional growth plan. At Old High each year, every teacher chooses a research based teaching strategy based on an individual goal. They research the strategy, use and perfect it in their own classrooms, and share their strategy with the staff. We never stop growing at Old High! #UKnighted

Congratulations to Knights Meera Brauher and Reagan Wicker for their outstanding performance in the 2025 5th-7th Grade National Treble Honor Choir, sponsored by the American Choral Directors Association! They proudly represented Old High Middle School at the concert on March 22, 2025, held at the Meyerson Symphony Hall in Dallas, TX. Among a select group of talented student musicians, they auditioned for a prestigious spot in the choir. Over the course of four days, singers practiced for six hours each day under the guidance of guest conductor Marcela Molina to prepare for this remarkable performance. These students have brought great pride to their school and community, demonstrating the impressive musical talent that has been cultivated in this area.
