Many traditions are being turned upside down these days, one of those traditions at Comal ISD is honoring the top academic seniors along with their mentors at a special banquet. On May 1, this year's virtual banquet was revealed.

Come rain or shine, these ladies and gentlemen have been standing on the frontline for their students, making sure those in need are well-fed even while their campuses are closed. They are the child nutrition professionals; they are the lunch heroes.

While Spring Signing Day wasn't the same this year with packed gymnasiums, balloons and lots of hugs, the excitement and pride those celebrations bring remain the same. As senior athletes made commitments or signed letters of intent to continue to play a sport at the collegiate level, parents and friends celebrated.

For one day, Thursday, April 30, Canyon High School will serve as a drive through testing site for anyone who would like to receive a free COVID-19 test. Appointments are required and will be scheduled beginning Tuesday, April 28.

In its continuing efforts to support the online learning of every student in the Comal Independent School District, the district launched its Bus Wi-Fi program Monday. Seven school buses equipped with wireless network devices were sent to seven locations throughout the district’s 589 square miles.

Parents, families and friends may purchase a senior 'Shout-Out' advertisement in the upcoming May issue of SchooLife.

A digital copy of the April issue of SchooLife is available now. Read about S.P.U.D. week at Canyon High, Water Week at Pieper Ranch, chess champions and more. Plus, check out the advertisers, local businesses and services who constantly step-up to support the district.

Comal ISD has been named to the 2020 Best Communities for Music Education list for the first time. Only 87 Texas school districts were named to the list with 754 districts nationwide.

Before "social distancing" became the norm, Canyon High School Student Council members along with various student organizations continued a tradition known as S.P.U.D. week which raises money to help other students in need.

March is "Youth Art Month," and the perfect time to celebrate young artists such as Gabby Vasquez who entered an original art piece for a t-shirt design contest and won.
