Mercedes High School

Getting STAAR ready! 🌟 Mercedes High School students recently participated in a Senior Workshop led by Ms. Martha Morales to review different strategies that they can implement to help prepare them for the English I and English II STAAR tests. Students were actively engaged in learning effective approaches for both reading and writing domains, and we'd like to give a special Tiger shout out to our English teachers for taking the lead to empower our students. Let’s continue to motivate them as they gear up for their STAAR testing next month! #MISDpride #MISDdrive #MISDsuccess
