🚌 National School Bus Safety Week is October 19 to 23!
Corsicana ISD is reminding all drivers to slow down and obey traffic laws around school buses to keep our students safe. Stopping when a school bus stop-arm is extended and red lights are flashing is the law, whether approaching from the front or rear.
Know the Bus Lights:
🟡 Yellow Flashing: Indicates the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. Slow down and prepare to stop.
🔴 Red Flashing & Extended Stop-Arm: Complete stop required! Vehicles may begin moving ONLY when red lights are off, the stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving.
⚠️ Respect the "Danger Zone": The "Danger Zone" is any area surrounding the bus where the driver cannot see a child:
• 10 feet in front of the bus
• 10 feet on either side of the bus
• Directly behind the school bus
🔗Go to NHTSA.gov/SchoolBus for additional safety guidelines. #DBD
------Español-----
🚌 ¡La Semana Nacional de Seguridad en los Autobuses Escolares es del 19 al 23 de octubre!
El Distrito Escolar Independiente de Corsicana (Corsicana ISD) recuerda a todos los conductores que deben reducir la velocidad y respetar las leyes de tránsito cerca de los autobuses escolares para garantizar la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes. Es obligatorio detenerse cuando el brazo de parada (señal de "STOP") del autobús escolar está extendido y las luces rojas están parpadeando; esto aplica tanto si se acerca al autobús por delante como por detrás.
Conozca las luces del autobús:
🟡 Luces amarillas parpadeantes: Indican que el autobús se está preparando para detenerse y recoger o dejar a los niños. Reduzca la velocidad y prepárese para detenerse.
🔴 Luces rojas parpadeantes y brazo de parada extendido: ¡Es obligatorio detenerse por completo! Los vehículos solo pueden reanudar la marcha cuando las luces rojas se hayan apagado, el brazo de parada se haya retraído y el autobús comience a moverse.
⚠️ Respete la "Zona de Peligro": La "Zona de Peligro" es cualquier área alrededor del autobús donde el conductor no puede ver a un niño:
• 10 pies (aprox. 3 metros) delante del autobús.
• 10 pies (aprox. 3 metros) a cada lado del autobús.
• Directamente detrás del autobús escolar.

Weeks of hard work paid off on Thursday at the 5th Annual Small Business Fair, hosted by Corsicana High School Honors Economics seniors.
Students set up shop in the library with mock business plans, financial projections, and product samples. They pitched their concepts directly to administrators, school board members, and community leaders, who served as potential "investors" evaluating their work.

Semanas de arduo trabajo dieron sus frutos el jueves durante la 5.ª Feria Anual de Pequeñas Empresas, organizada por los estudiantes de último año del curso de Economía con honores de la Escuela Preparatoria Corsicana.
Los alumnos instalaron sus puestos en la biblioteca, presentando planes de negocio simulados, proyecciones financieras y muestras de productos. Expusieron sus propuestas directamente ante administradores, miembros del consejo escolar y líderes comunitarios, quienes actuaron como posibles “inversionistas” encargados de evaluar su labor.

Would you drive a car not knowing if the brakes work? Would you take a seat on a roller coaster in which a section of track may not be secure? Why take drugs you know nothing about? This month, we come together to shine a light on a critical issue: fentanyl poisoning. Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid that has taken far too many lives. Together, we can make a difference. Visit www.cisd.org/page/fentanyl-awareness or txopioidresponse.org/fentanyl for more facts about this hidden killer. #DBD #OnePillKills #FentanylAwarenessMonth

On a day when many Americans reflect on the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001, Corsicana High School students born as many as 10 years later took part in a memorable event at Bunert Park. Under the stirring large U.S. flag, the CHS Choir performed two songs and added depth to the audience-led National Anthem during the 25th Anniversary 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony. The event was hosted by the Freedom Flag Committee and the City of Corsicana, and featured speakers from Corsicana and county first responders, and featured former Navarro County Judge and CHS graduate H.M Davenport as the keynote. Former Corsicana teacher and coach Sam Thompson served as the emcee. We are honored to have had a small part with our wonderful choir, under the direction of Lecretia Brandon.

En un día en que muchos estadounidenses reflexionan sobre la tragedia del 11 de septiembre de 2001, estudiantes de la Escuela Preparatoria Corsicana (CHS) —nacidos incluso hasta 10 años después de aquel suceso— participaron en un evento memorable en el parque Bunert. Bajo la imponente y gran bandera de los Estados Unidos, el coro de CHS interpretó dos canciones y enriqueció la entonación del Himno Nacional, cantado por los asistentes, durante la ceremonia conmemorativa del 25.º aniversario del 9/11. El evento fue organizado por el Comité de la Bandera de la Libertad (Freedom Flag Committee) y la ciudad de Corsicana; contó con la participación de personal de emergencias de la ciudad y del condado, y tuvo como orador principal a H.M. Davenport, exjuez del condado de Navarro y graduado de CHS. Sam Thompson, exmaestro y entrenador de Corsicana, actuó como maestro de ceremonias.

OUR MEMORIES: “Sept. 11, 2001, showed me both the unimaginable pain human beings can cause and the extraordinary compassion they are capable of showing afterward. It was a day of tremendous loss. And somehow, in the days that followed, there was also hope. Twenty-five years later, I still remember both.” - Rachel Clift, teacher, Fannin Elementary

As our nation reflects on the 25th Anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City and other parts of America, staff members of Corsicana ISD recall where they were on the fateful September day in 2001. We invite you to remember along with us and peruse our special commemorative website page, “9/11: Our Memories." 

Some of our employees were children. Some young teachers. Some in the media. And one knew about the attacks before the rest of us did. Visit www.cisd.org/page/911-memories to read our accounts. #DBD #GODBLESSAMERICA

NUESTROS RECUERDOS: «El 11 de septiembre de 2001 me mostró el dolor inimaginable que los seres humanos pueden causar a la igual extraordinaria compasión que son capaces de demostrar después. Fue un día de tremenda pérdida. Y, de alguna manera, en los días que siguieron, también hubo esperanza. Veinticinco años después, sigo recordando ambas cosas». — Rachel Clift, maestra, Escuela Primaria Fannin

Mientras nuestra nación reflexiona sobre el 25.º aniversario de los ataques terroristas del 11 de septiembre en la ciudad de Nueva York y otros lugares de Estados Unidos, el personal del distrito de Corsicana recuerda dónde se encontraba aquel fatídico día de septiembre de 2001. Les invitamos a recordar con nosotros y a visitar nuestra página web conmemorativa especial: "9/11: Our Memories" (11 de septiembre: Nuestros recuerdos). 

Algunos de nuestros empleados eran niños; otros, maestros jóvenes; algunos trabajaban en los medios de comunicación; y hubo uno quien se enteró de los ataques antes que el resto de nosotros. Visite www.cisd.org/page/911-memories para leer nuestros relatos. #DBD #GODBLESSAMERICA

Corsicana ISD is set to welcome high school cross country runners from across the region on Friday, Sept. 11, for the 2026 Corsicana Tiger Invitational. The action-packed morning kicks off at Corsicana Middle School and finishes at Community National Bank & Trust Stadium, routing athletes through a course of open grass fields, gravel roads, and concrete paths.
Event participation has surged dramatically this season, growing from seven schools last year to 18 confirmed schools.
The host Tigers enter the meet brimming with confidence after months of grueling preparation. "We have been training on our challenging hill course since early June," said head coach Jesus Rodriguez. "Our practice starts at 6:45 a.m. and we run for miles (typically 6 to 8) while working on fartleks, tempo, speed, and time trials. Our team is very capable of winning our meet this year."
Varsity competition begins at 8:30 a.m. with the 5A-6A girls' race, followed by the 5A-6A boys at 9 a.m. The top 10 finishers in each division will earn individual medals. Rodriguez and assistant coach Melissa Grantham highlighted a deep roster of local contenders to watch, including Hugo Hernandez, Juan Gonzalez, Oscar Saldana, Joshua Escobedo, Jose Reyes, Ben Gonzalez, and Juan Salinas for the boys. The girls' squad features standout runners Miah Jackson, Paola Guido, Denisse Alonso, Kyla Ross, Laila Ross, and Natasha Sanchez.
Beyond the competition, hosting the home meet is a point of immense pride for the entire program.
"The Corsicana Tiger Invitational meet is very special to us," Rodriguez said. "Not only do we get to share our passion for running, but we welcome anyone interested in coming to see what our community has to offer. Our meet is a very good way to show how our sports keep improving year by year and the commitment we have to our kids. We are Corsicana, and proud to be Tigers!"
Grantham echoed the sentiment, saying how eager the team is to race in front of friends and family after training all over town.
Spectators are asked to park on the visitor side of the football stadium. While traditional concession stands will be closed, local food trucks Taco Station, Kona Ice, and Chuy’s Gourmet Ice Cream will be on site. For event information, contact Coach Rodriguez at jrodriguez@cisd.org.
