Corral Drive will be having our annual Patriot Day Celebration on September 11th. We invite family members who are first responders and military to come so we can honor them during our program. The day will begin at 9am on the Corral Drive soccer field with a brief program and remembrance of September 11th. Our celebration will continue with a parade along the school bus lane. Parents can park on the east side of the staff parking lot.

Friday Coffee Surprise!

A big thank you to Kent and Angela Bradley from The Local for surprising our Corral Drive staff with cold coffees today! I had the chance to make the rounds and deliver them to classrooms this morning.

It was a great little Friday surprise and very much appreciated by our staff. Thanks, Kent and Angela, for thinking of us and supporting Corral Drive! ☕🐾

Today we had the opportunity to welcome back several former Corral Drive students as part of the annual Grad Walk tradition! 🎓🐺

Our hallways were filled with cheers, smiles, high fives, and excitement as graduating seniors walked through the building where many of their school journeys first began. It was a special moment for both our current students and the seniors as they reflected on how much they have grown over the years.

One of the highlights was seeing some of our staff members celebrate their own sons and daughters as they walked the hallways as graduating seniors. Those moments made the day even more special for our school community.

We are incredibly proud of all of our RCAS graduates and wish them the very best in the next chapter ahead. Once a Coyote, always a Coyote!
