🌴🐆 Things got a little WILD under the Friday night lights! 🏈💙
The Mustangs battled Iowa Colony and came away with a 48-42 WIN! The student section kept the energy high and the stands loud all night long. 📣
At halftime, the Wranglerettes took a walk on the wild side with their jungle-themed performance, made even better with some special dance partners: their dads! 🕺💃The Mustang Marching Band followed with a magnificent performance that kept the Friday night show going strong. 🎶🥁
A big win, a wild halftime and plenty of Mustang pride. What a night! 💙🤍

🎤 Building leaders. Sharing stories. Representing CTE.
Friendswood High School CTE Leadership Representatives came together for the CTE Ambassador Leadership Expo, a day designed to equip students with the skills and confidence to serve as ambassadors for their CTE pathways.
Organized by Executive Director of CTE and Community Partnerships Alexis Kopp and CTE Coordinator Jamie Louviere, the event kicked off with keynote speaker Dr. Erin Erb, Division Vice President of Quality, Patient Safety & Emergency Operations for HCA Healthcare Gulf Coast. Dr. Erb shared a powerful message about leadership and impact, reminding students that you don’t have to wear a cape to be a hero. 🦸
Students then rotated through interactive learning sessions led by teachers and their peers, sharpening skills in public speaking, creating an engaging expo booth, developing an elevator pitch, and effectively sharing the story of their CTE programs.
These students will put those skills into action throughout the year as CTE Ambassadors, showcasing their pathways, connecting with prospective students, and representing the many opportunities available through CTE at FHS. 💙

🌎💡 Learning Beyond District Lines!
Friendswood ISD opened its doors to principals from Pearland ISD, Pasadena ISD, Deer Park ISD, and La Porte ISD as we kicked off a new Instructional Principals Collaborative!
Created by Deputy Superintendent Lauren Ambeau and Assistant Superintendent Ryan Kopp, the collaboration brings school leaders together to share ideas, learn from one another, and strengthen the way they lead teaching and learning on their campuses.
During their time in FISD, visiting principals stepped inside our schools to see the Friendswood 14 in action, experience our culture, and get a firsthand look at the instructional practices happening in our classrooms each day. 💙🐴
And this is just the beginning! Participating districts will take turns opening their doors, giving principals the opportunity to visit campuses, exchange ideas, and grow their leadership networks across district lines.
Because when educators learn from one another, students across our communities benefit. 💡📚

💙 Our youngest Mustangs + our Mustang Seniors = one pretty special morning! 🥹
Today’s Mustang Seniors event brought together some of our second graders from Westwood Elementary and our senior community members for a morning full of conversation, creativity, and connection.
Second graders and Mustang Seniors sat side by side painting rocks that will soon become part of Westwood’s Character Garden. 🎨🪨 But somewhere between choosing colors and adding the finishing touches, something even more meaningful happened. They talked, laughed, asked each other questions, and shared stories about life.
Before the students headed back to school, our Mustang Seniors left them with something they could carry with them long after the paint dries: Words of Wisdom from generations of experience. 💙
The morning also included an update from Superintendent Thad Roher about what’s happening across Friendswood ISD and our FW14 brand, as well as a look at the many ways the Friendswood Education Foundation supports our teachers and staff.
We love creating opportunities that bring generations of Mustangs together. Today was a beautiful reminder that while there may be many years between us, there is always something we can learn from one another.
Because around here, Pride Never Ages. 🐴💙

👵📚 These grannies know their grammar!
We stopped by Bales Intermediate today for 5th Grade Grammar Day, where students tested their skills with a little help from some very special Grammar Grannies... and Grandpas! 👓✨
Students rotated through punctuation stations, worked with classmates, played grammar games, and independently showed off what they know.
And the grannies didn’t clock out for lunch! 😂 Teachers popped in during lunchtime with quick grammar questions for students. Answer correctly, and you might just earn a piece of old-fashioned... we mean nostalgic... candy pulled straight from a pocket or handbag. 🍬👜
A big shoutout to the Bales teachers and staff who fully committed to bringing Grammar Day to life. Turns out, good grammar never goes out of style! 💙
