EBHS Freshman and JV Football Results

Yesterday launched the 2018 season for our Freshman Brahmas. The Brahmas took on the Concordia Lutheran Crusaders in Tomball. Unfortunately the game did not end as we would have wished, the final score was a 14-14 tie. Throughout the game our rushing attack was dominant, our offensive line dominated the line of scrimmage. These young men were David Zavala, Samuel Coker, Jonah Kubena, Carson Kubicek, and Raul Contreras. Our general Caleb Magness started his first game in our potent slot-t offense and did a tremendous job running our team, completing 4-5 passes.

The Brahmas were led on the ground by Blake Jedlicka scoring twice and Weston Swoboda. Boone Lee and Mason Winkler each had tremendous catches in the fourth quarter to assist in our comeback. Heading into the fourth quarter the young Brahmas found themselves trailing by 14. A tenacious and an opportunistic defense sparked the fourteen point comeback. The Brahmas stopped the Crusaders on the final play of the third quarter and took the next possession in for a score. A pivotal play with five minutes to play decided the game, the Brahmas stopped the Crusaders on fourth and one from midfield. A wild final possession that included a fourth and long sparked a furious comeback.

The Brahma Defense was led by gritty play from Weston Swoboda, Mason Crist, and Mark Glover. After the Brahmas came up with the equalizer, the Crusaders still had time for a final drive to win. Mason Crist came down with an interception that ended the Crusaders hope for a victory and sealed the tie for the Brahmas.

From the first day till the now our Brahmas have showed tremendous growth and this was almost a perfect way to start our season. Next week the Brahmas will travel to Boiling in search of their first Victory.



Your JV Football team took on the Rice Consolidated Raiders on their home turf. The Brahmas came out on top tonight with a score of 35-0. The Brahmas were lead by great performances by Brennan Peloquin, Devin Bowen, Cason Ivy, Riley Moseley, Blake Walters, Charles Boettcher and Bryce Somer dominating the line of scrimmage. Because of the great play upfront the Brahmas were able to score on every possession they had. The Brahmas had great rushing performances from Nik Schatz and Doug Grymes. Scoring for the Brahmas were Dallas Novicke with a passing and two rushing touchdowns, Jose Cubias with a touchdown reception, and Brodie Reinecke and Andrew Dirba scoring on the ground.


The Brahma defense had a phenomenal game, shutting out the Raiders. The Brahma defense were led by an interception from Andrew Schmidt. The Brahmas also had great play on the defensive line from Raul Tavarez, Carlos Montalbo, Grant Prazak, Cayden Hall, and Ethan Hlavinka. The Brahma defense also gave up zero passing yards with great performances by Trey Steffens, Davis Coldeway, Cole Polak, Dylan Baird, and Riley Polak.


The Brahma special teams were lead by an outstanding performance from kicker Grant Prazak going 5-5 on extra points.


The East Bernard JV Football team had a great start to their season tonight. If you see any of these young men, please be sure to congratulate them. The Brahmas will have their home opener next week against the Hitchcock Bulldogs on September 6th.

EB FFA Updates

We are starting things off the EB way by bragging on student success so we will add to it and give everyone a little update from the summer time. If you attended the teacher breakfast, you have heard some of this so I apologize.

7 students earned their State Lone Star Degree from Texas FFA this summer. This is the highest FFA degree that a member can earn from the Texas FFA. This is the culmination of 3 years of hard work and dedication to FFA. Less than 2% of Texas FFA Members earn this degree each year.

EB FFA was recognized at the State Convention as a Gold Rated Chapter through the National Chapter Rating Award. We were one of 24 FFA chapters in Texas to earn a Gold Rating. There are over 1060 FFA chapters in Texas. Our application was forwarded on to the National FFA for scoring and ranking and we were awarded 3 stars at the National level, the HIGHEST level that a chapter can earn. This award is based upon the chapters activities in the following areas: growing leaders, growing communities, and advancing agriculture. We will be recognized on stage in October at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana for this accomplishment. 

So in short... our EB FFA kids are State and Nationally awarded/recognized among other FFA members and FFA chapters!

Here is to continuing the success!

EBISD Earns "A" Rating

"A" Rating

Commissioner Morath commends work of high-performing districts statewide

 AUSTIN – Following release of 2018 state accountability ratings by the Texas Education Agency (TEA), Commissioner of Education Mike Morath today commended the work taking place in high-performing school districts statewide.

Under the 2018 A-F state accountability system, 153 of 829 school districts and district charters achieved an A rating. Commissioner Morath noted that many of those districts are accomplishing strong performance for all its students in areas with high levels of poverty.

“Achieving an A rating reflects the hard work and commitment of everyone within a school district, starting with our classroom teachers. We should all celebrate the outstanding work of these dedicated educators,” said Commissioner Morath. “Districts with high levels of poverty who attain this high level of performance are proof positive that poverty is not destiny. With strong instruction and curriculum, all students can succeed.”

Parents are encouraged to visit TXschools.org to view online report cards designed to be useful tools to see how a school or district is doing in different areas. The report cards spotlight specific strengths, in addition to any challenges, so that we can work to assure the needs of all students are being met. Parents can search by district or school name and compare that district’s or school’s performance to others in their area.

The following 153 school districts and district charters achieved an A rating: Accelerated Intermediate Academy (Houston); Aledo ISD; Allen ISD; Alvord ISD; Archer City ISD; Argyle ISD; Arlington Classics Academy; Barbers Hill ISD; Basis Texas (San Antonio); Beckville ISD; Bells ISD; Bishop CISD; Bland ISD; Bob Hope School (Port Arthur); Boerne ISD; Booker ISD; Brackett ISD; Brock ISD; Burnham Wood Charter School District (El Paso); Bushland ISD; Caddo Mills ISD; Calvin Nelms Charter School (Katy); Canadian ISD; Canutillo ISD; Carroll ISD; Celina ISD; Chapel Hill ISD; China Springs ISD; Claude ISD; Clear Creek ISD; Coppell ISD; De Leon ISD; Devers ISD; Dripping Springs ISD; Dublin ISD; Eanes ISD; Early ISD; East Bernard ISD; East Fort Worth Montessori Academy; Edinburg CISD; Falls City ISD; Flour Bluff ISD; Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts; Fort Sam Houston ISD; Franklin ISD; Friendswood ISD; Frisco ISD; George Gervin Academy (San Antonio); Glasscock County ISD; Glen Rose ISD; Goldthwaite ISD; Grandview ISD; Grapevine-Colleyville ISD; Great Hearts Texas (San Antonio); Gruver ISD; Hallsville ISD; Happy ISD; Harmony School of Excellence (Houston); Harmony School of Science (Houston); Harmony Science Academy (El Paso); Harmony Science Academy (Houston); Harmony Science Academy (San Antonio); Harmony Science Academy (Waco); Heritage Academy (Schertz); Hidalgo ISD; Highland Park ISD (Dallas); Houston Gateway Academy Inc.; Hudson ISD; Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD; Iola ISD; Irion County ISD; Jim Ned ISD; Katy ISD; Keller ISD; Lackland ISD; Lake Travis ISD; Leveretts Chapel ISD; Liberty Hill ISD; Lindale ISD; Lindsay ISD; London ISD; Lorena ISD; Los Fresnos ISD; Lovejoy ISD; Malakoff ISD; Mansfield ISD; Martins Mill ISD; Mason ISD; Medina Valley ISD; Melissa ISD; McAllen ISD; McKinney ISD; Midway ISD; Miles ISD; Muenster ISD; Mumford ISD; Needville ISD; Northwest ISD; NYOS Charter School (Austin); Olney ISD; Orenda Charter School (Georgetown); Panhandle ISD; Paso Del Norte Academy Charter District (El Paso); Pearland ISD; Pineywoods Community Academy (Lufkin); Pioneer Technology & Arts Academy (Mesquite); Plano ISD; Pleasant Grove ISD; Poth ISD; Port Aransas ISD; Princeton ISD; Prosper ISD; Randolph Field ISD; Rapoport Academy Public School (Waco); Red Lick ISD; Ricardo ISD; Rising Star ISD; Roby CISD; Rockwall ISD; Roma ISD; Round Rock ISD; Santa Gertrudis ISD; School of Science and Technology (San Antonio); School of Science and Technology Discovery (San Antonio); Seashore Charter School (Corpus Christi); Shallowater ISD; Sharyland ISD; Shiner ISD; South Texas ISD; Spearman ISD; Spring Hill ISD; Sundown ISD; Sunnyvale ISD; Texas Preparatory School (San Marcos); Tomball ISD; UME Preparatory Academy (Dallas); Union Grove ISD; United ISD; Universal Academy (Irving); University of Texas University Charter School (Austin); Valley View ISD; Van Alstyne ISD; Vanguard Academy (Pharr); Vega ISD; Wall ISD; Waller ISD; Weimar ISD; White Deer ISD; Wimberley ISD; Windthorst ISD; Woden ISD; Wylie ISD (Abilene); and Wylie ISD (Collin County). 

Districts and charters receive a grade or rating based on performance in three areas:

• Student Achievementmeasures what students know and can do by the end of the year.  It includes results from state assessments across all subjects for all students, on both general and alternate assessments, College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) indicators, like AP and ACT results, and graduation rates.
• School Progressmeasures how much better students are doing on the STAAR test this year versus last year, and how much better students are doing academically relative to schools with similar percentages of economically disadvantaged students.
• Closing the Gapslooks at performance among student groups, including various racial/ethnic groups, socioeconomic backgrounds and other factors.

Seventy percent of the accountability rating is based on the better of Student Achievement or Student Progress (whichever is better is the only performance measure counted in the calculations). The remaining 30 percent is based on performance in the Closing the Gaps area. To learn more about the A–F accountability system, visit https://tea.texas.gov/A-F/.

EBISD & Law Enforcement Partner

EBISD has partnered with law enforcement to have an increased unsolicited police presence (various law enforcement agencies) on campus periodically.  They will be on the grounds, in the buildings, visiting classrooms, and having lunch with our kids.  This is a great example of our school-community partnership and no reason for alarm. We look forward to their presence and the opportunity for them to interact with our students and staff.
