What is CRHS PTSA? 

The Cinco Ranch High School Parent Teacher Student Association is a volunteer organization committed to the parents, teachers and students of CRHS and is dedicated to building various and effective means of communication to enhance these relationships.

Students - Through encouraging student involvement, assisting in student integration, and providing scholarships, we strive to contribute to the success of CRHS students.

ARTS IN EDUCATION REFLECTIONS PROGRAM

Judging is underway for the Cinco Ranch High School Reflections program.  Forty-two Cougar students were inspired to create works of art related to the theme “Diversity Means…”  Judges are evaluating the entries based on three criteria: interpretation of the theme, artistic merit and creativity, and mastery of the medium.  Cinco students submitted entries in the categories of visual arts, photography, literature, and film production.  The Reflections program also includes dance choreography and musical composition.  Students are encouraged to consider these areas as well for future Reflections contests.

CRHS PTSA Reflections Chairperson Cris Bowden would like to thank all the students who shared their creative work in the competition.  Top finishers will be moving to the next stage of Reflections with the Katy Council of PTAs.   Mrs. Bowden would like to extend a special thanks to the World Geography department for encouraging their students to enter Reflections.  For students who are planning ahead to next year, the 2012-2013 PTA Reflections theme will be: “The Magic of a Moment…”
