Principal Update

May 21, 2023


Good Morning Maroon Country! This coming week will be finals week — see the finals schedule below. All four Senior Salutes will also be taking place this week, please see below for details. Last night was Prom 2023! All the students did great and had a lot of fun. Thank you to our Prom committee and our senior sponsor Mrs. Charlsie Johnson. Thank you also to Lesley Childress, Atha Phillips and all the parents that served as chaperones, and special thanks to Dr. John Purser or as he was last night, "DJ Purser". We will be sending Graduation information throughout the week. Have a great last week!


It is time for our annual registration process. We look forward to having all of our students return next year. You will need to register your child by visiting austinisd.org/enroll or texting enroll to 512-886-6434, to confirm your child is returning.


Be sure to click 2023-2024; as the school year when you start the Registration process. This Registration process is for all returning students, as well as new to Austin High/AISD students. For complete, step-by-step registration instructions, please refer to the Family Guide to Online Registration or visit the AISD registration information webpage.

When your student has completed all work requiring their chromebook & charger, they can turn them into the library.

Cross Country

Interested in Austin High Cross Country for the Fall of 2023? There will be informal practices at Zilker Park at 7 am (usually until 8:15) Tuesday through Friday. We meet at the sand volleyball courts starting Thursday, June 1st. This is a great chance to meet all runners of different ability levels, develop fitness, and have fun getting ready for fall cross-country meets (which start as early as August 25th). Consistent cardiovascular development in a fun environment helps runners perform optimally. Please sign up using the QR code for a Band Account. We will be in contact with you about practices and if there are ever cancellations due to weather. You can also email us at: austinhighcrosscountry@gmail.com or get to the Band link here:

Austin High 2023 Summer XC

Golf

Austin High Alumni,


The Austin High Golf Team is hosting our annual Loyal Forever Tournament on Friday August 11th. We are looking for interested businesses or individuals who would like to be a hole sponsor. I've attached a one-pager with detailed information about the sponsorships including all of the benefits. Each sponsor will receive a complimentary team for the four-man scramble, will be recognized at the tournament, have signage placed at Austin High for the entire 2023-24 school year, and much more. The proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards tournament fees, travel expenses, and an indoor putting green that will be located in our locker room and can be used in conjunction with our golf simulator. If your business would be open to sponsoring a hole or you know someone that may be interested, please let Jared Maxwell (jarredmaxwell@icloud.com) our Sponsorship Coordinator know.


Loyal Forever,


Nick Lebo - Boys Head Golf Coach
