CCS to Participate in the College Board AP Capstone Diploma Program
CCS is one of approximately 1,500 high schools worldwide to implement
the AP Capstone Program - an innovative program that allows students
to develop skills that matter most for college success, such as research,
collaboration and communication. Developed in direct response to
feedback from higher education faculty and college admission officers,
AP Capstone complements the in-depth, subject-specific study of other
Advanced Placement courses and exams. The program consists of two
courses taken in sequence: AP Seminar and AP Research.
State Representative Honors Warrior Football

LIVESTOCK SHOW AND SALE GENERATES
NEARLY $340,000 FOR PROJECTS
CFISD students and the high school FFA programs showcased another
successful CFISD Livestock Show and Sale, its 24 th year, on Feb. 8 th -10 th at
the CFISD Exhibit Center.
Even with the entire greater Houston area recovering from Hurricane
Harvey and the post-storm flooding, the CFISD community showed an
incredible amount of generosity in the live auction, freezer sale and via
additional monetary contributions to students.
The Premium Sale (live auction) unofficially raised nearly $340,000.
Final amounts from the Freezer Sale (animals not placing high enough
for the live auction), Agriculture Mechanics and Horticulture silent
auction and additional gifts to students are not yet available, but one
new record was broken:
Conda Maze JRP LLC paid $31,000 for the Grand Champion swine exhibited
by Jessica Byrd (Cypress Falls), eclipsing the previous record.
“Knowing the tremendous hardship (Hurricane Harvey) placed on the
community, we were prepared for participation to be down,” said Denise
Kubecka, lead curriculum coordinator in the career and technical education
department. “When it came time for students to turn in their entries, we
realized our numbers would once again be strong. In the wake of all going
on in the community, families found a way to keep their children involved
in the FFA program. It is always an emotional experience for me to watch
the pride the students exhibit as they walk into that arena. This year was
even more exciting knowing the extra obstacles many students had to
overcome.”
