We were able to finish second in the district with a record of 8-2 and another amazing season. We have earned another spot to compete in the 2A playoffs and will begin our playoff run on the 11th or 12th of February depending on the seeding. These girls have been doing amazing on and off the basketball court. Thank you for your support, Coach Montgomery

Last night, 2-3-21, was a great night for our young team. Personal records were set in nearly every lift. Our team was led by Herschel Conway with a tight 2nd place finish, as well as Jeremiah Teague with a 3rd place in his weight class. Richard Rivera-Espinoza, Deven Green, and Andrew Vasquez all finished 5th in their weight classes. Our kids keep getting better and it’s going to really pay off at the regional meet. Best, Coach Ethan Watson

Mrs. Abells DIM and Animation classe projects with a 3D Printer: Animation class just finished their first project. Each student designed and printed a phone case for their phones. Each student started by drawing a schematic drawing with precise measurements. They took their design concept and developed a prototype using Blender Software. From the software they developed a prototype using the 3D printer. At Somerville High School our students are taking their ideas from concept, to design, to working prototype!

Attention students who park behind the administration office, please do not sit there revving your engines. We have elderly neighbors who live around that particular area. If I can hear it in my unit, and teachers can also, your car is too loud. Please don’t do that in the mornings. Let’s have respect for those that are still asleep. Thank you, Somerville SRO

The cheerleaders still have some spirit shirts left for sale. They can be picked up at the high school or at the home basketball games on 1/26/21 and 2/2/21. To pre-order, email sgregory@somervilleisd.org with sizes and quantities. Thank you for your support!
