Canadian High School

Canadian High School senior Laney Hood learned last week that she had been named a 2024 National Merit Scholar finalist. In doing so, she joins an elite group of only 15,000 students nationwide—about half of whom will share nearly $28 million in awards this year. She also becomes only the fourth CHS student (see list below) to reach that lofty level since the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) program began in 1955.

     CHS graduate Everett Cook is doing more than just studying marine biology—he is well on his way to becoming a published author. 

Sixty Canadian High School seniors received their diplomas during graduation ceremonies held on Saturday, May 20, in the CHS Gymnasium.

WASHINGTON—On Friday, May 5, Representative Ronny Jackson (TX-13) announced that seven students from Texas’ 13th Congressional District received appointments to three U.S. Service Academies.

As a Member of Congress, Jackson can nominate students from TX-13 for appointments to the United States Air Force, Naval, Military (West Point), and Merchant Marine Academies. Jackson can also nominate students from the entire State of Texas to the Merchant Marine Academy.

Canadian Lady Cats stole the lead late in the game in an 8-4 home field victory over Dimmitt Varsity Bobbies on Saturday, March 25. The game was tied at four with Canadian Lady Cats batting in the bottom of the fifth when Miranda Nunez singled on a 1-1 count, scoring one run.

Leah Moreno led the Lady Cats to victory by driving in four runs. Moreno went 2-for-3 at the plate, and drove in runs on a homer in the third and a double in the fifth.
