locations but the kids rocked it and brought home the medals.

and Ben Sandoval. Zach and Ben know the drill and are looking forward
to bringing home the gold next year.

Thank you to everyone for your support.

IMPORTANT Graduation Information

IMPORTANT Graduation info:

With the likelihood of rain today and tomorrow, we're proactively planning for the worst case scenario for tomorrow night. To be clear, we plan to have graduation on the field at 8pm as planned.

HOWEVER, should mother nature bring us rain, here is the plan:
1) Graduation will be moved into Pullin Gym- still at 8:00pm.
2) Doors will open at 7:00pm.
3) Each graduate has been issued 8 tickets to distribute.
4) Only people with tickets will be allowed into the gym - tickets are not available for purchase.
5) Faculty and staff only, (no spouse/kids) will be allowed into the ceremony, no ticket needed!
6) We will try our best to make a decision by 3:00pm regarding location - check website and Facebook page.

In addition, we're working on live streaming capabilities so graduation can be viewed online. We are also looking into the possibility of hosting this streaming at the EBISD cafeteria so those without tickets can see graduation. Please know graduation is important to all of us at EBISD and we want to make the best and safest decision for the students.

Please stay tuned here and on the EBISD webpage for updates. --Courtney Hudgins, Superintendent

Fun Times at EBISD

Sometimes you just have to have a little fun! The 1st-4th graders enjoyed a "splashday" sponsored by the PTO for those achieving the required AR points. Thank you to the PTO members, teachers and staff, and parent volunteers that helped make the day a success. (If pictures do not load, click link below.)

The Kindergartners got a taste of the "country" life and learned more about our "Brahma" mascot by touring the J. D. Hudgins Brahman ranch in Hungerford, TX.

8th graders attended the Houston Holocaust Museum to learn more about the history of the Holocaust and it's impact on the future of the world. (No pics at this time)

It was a great day outside the walls of the classroom!

EBHS Baseball Vs Central Heights Playoff Results

The East Bernard Brahmas took on the #4 team in the state, the Central Heights Blue Devils, this weekend in the 3^rd round of the playoffs. The Brahmas came up short losing 10-0 and 3-2. East Bernard dropped the first game of the series late Friday night and then came back on Saturday to give the Blue Devils all they wanted in game 2, but eventually lost on a walk off hit in the bottom of the 7^th with 2 outs. Leading the charge at the plate in game 1 was JJ Talas with a hit, Blake Whitley with a hit, Allen Anderson with a hit and Lane Kolafa with a hit.

The second game the Brahmas out hit Central Heights 8-5 but couldn’t get the break we needed to win the game. Leading the charge in that game was Kyle Socha with a hit and a run. Matthew Tovar, Ed Garza, Austin Henry, Travis Hlavinka, Jake Zurek, Blake Whitley, and JJ Talas all had a hit while Allen Anderson scored the second run.

The Brahmas finished the season 19-8 and made it to the third round of the playoffs. Please congratulate these men on a great season filled with lots of memories.
