A huge congratulations to our 8th Grade Science students for an incredible March Mammal Madness season! Through scientific research, analysis of adaptations, and evidence-based reasoning, students made predictions and defended their claims like true scientists. 🧠🔬✨

We are so proud of our students’ critical thinking, research skills, and scientific reasoning. Way to go, future scientists! 👏

Congratulations to Orangefield Junior High students Brenham Valka and Gilbert Blacksher for earning the fifth six-week period's "Awesome Attendance Awards"!
Any student with two or fewer absences during the six-week grading period is eligible for the first attendance award. Brenham maintained exceptional attendance and will receive an electric scooter and MLB The Show for his Playstation 5 due to his consistent positive presence!
The second award recognizes a student from the grade level with the highest overall attendance. Our 6th grade class finished ahead of the 8th grade by 1%. Gilbert, a 6th grader with outstanding attendance, is taking home an electric scooter!
Great job, Brenham and Gilbert!
Huge shout out to STUCO for sponsoring 6 additional candy/drink packages that went out to more students with Perfect Attendance!

Orangefield Junior High is home to the hardest-working staff in Texas! Our faculty works tirelessly to provide a safe, effective learning environment for each and every student. Many of our faculty members received nominations for this spotlight, but we want to take a moment to specifically highlight one of our hardest workers: Jessica Vincent. For the past five years, Mrs. Vincent has served as an educational aide, making a lasting difference in the lives of our students. Whether stepping in to support struggling learners or confidently leading instruction herself, she consistently goes above and beyond. More than that, Jessica brings genuine care and passion to her role—she has been an inspiring mentor and a steady, positive influence for so many young people. Thank you, Mrs. Vincent, for your unwavering dedication and the heart you bring to our school every single day. We are truly grateful!
