📚🎉 Let’s Take a Look Back! 🎉📚 As we gear up for a brand new school year, let’s take a moment to look back at the 2025 Corbett Junior High Course Expo! Students and families had the chance to explore a wide variety of elective options—from fine arts and tech applications to athletics, Principles of Agriculture, and more. It was an exciting night full of great questions, helpful info, and a glimpse into all the amazing opportunities our Mustangs can choose from! Not sure which electives you selected or thinking about what to expect? This is your reminder to revisit your choices and get excited for a year full of learning and discovery!

Let us know in the comments! ⬇️

Today we recognize Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. It’s a time to honor the strength, resilience, and contributions of Black Americans throughout history and today. A great way to celebrate is by reading books like "All Different Now: Juneteenth, the First Day of Freedom" by Angela Johnson — a beautifully illustrated book that captures the significance of this day through the eyes of a child.

Today we honor the amazing fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, and all the father figures who inspire, support, and guide with strength and love. Your dedication means so much to our students and school community. 🛠️💙 From all of us at Corbett Junior High, thank you for everything you do. Wishing you a fantastic Father’s Day! 🙌

🎨🌞 Corbett Artists Making Their Mark! 🌞🎨 Four of our talented Corbett students—Addison Davenport, Anabella Guzman, Richelle Martinez, and Michaela Miller—were selected to help paint a community mural across from Harmon’s BBQ in downtown Cibolo! With the guidance of our amazing art teachers, they've been working hard (and catching some serious sun) to bring this colorful vision to life. Despite the sunscreen, they’re sporting sunburns and tans—but it’s all worth it! The mural isn’t quite finished yet, but they’re on track to wrap it up before the last day of school—just in time for the whole community to admire it all summer long! If you're in the area, swing by and check out their incredible work-in-progress!

🧪🐸 Hands-On Science in Action! 🐸🧪 Our 7th grade scientists rolled up their sleeves for a classic biology lab—frog dissection! With curiosity, focus, and (a little) bravery, students explored anatomy up close, making real-world connections to what they’ve been learning in class. We love seeing our Mustangs dive into hands-on learning experiences that spark questions, discovery, and maybe even future careers in science!
