Thanks to our incredibly generous Brookshire Brothers Pharmacy and our amazing community, the Hygiene Hubs on each of our campuses are now fully stocked!
These hubs were created by Nurse Dover and the Student Health Advisory Council (SHAC) to make essential hygiene items easily available to our students. They include soap, deodorant, feminine hygiene products, shampoo, socks, and more.
We also want to give a special shoutout to some of our high school students who volunteered their time to organize and stock the Hygiene Hub on their campus! We love seeing our students step up and serve others. 💛🖤 #75925

As we kick off another great season of Yellowjacket athletics, we want to share a quick reminder about Senate Bill 2929, the “Safe Stands Act.”
Under this law, game officials at school athletic events may remove spectators immediately for inappropriate behavior—without a warning. This law is about keeping athletic events safe, positive, and focused on what matters most—our students.
We know how much our community loves our Jackets, and we love seeing our stands packed with energy and support! Thank you to our parents, families, and fans for showing great sportsmanship, supporting our athletes, and setting the example we want our students to follow.

Your teen may think, “Everyone is doing it.” The truth? Most teens are not.
💡 When teens believe substance use is common, they may be more likely to experiment. And, teens often overestimate how many of their peers use substances.
📣 Parents: share factual information, and help your teen gain a clearer understanding of what is actually normal among their peers. Knowing that MOST students choose NOT to use substances can strengthen your teen’s confidence to make healthy choices.
Talk with your teen about the real numbers and help build their confidence to make healthy decisions. Learn more at angelinacoalition.org/resources
