Colleyville Heritage High School (CHHS) is a public secondary school in Colleyville, Texas in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The school is a part of the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District and serves freshmen through senior students in Colleyville and the surrounding areas. In 2011, the school was rated "Recognized" by the Texas Education Agency.[1]

CHHS is located several miles west of the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. In 2014, CHHS was ranked as the 38th best high school in Texas by US News,[2] and was ranked as the 221st best high school in the country by Newsweek magazine.[3] The school celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2006. Rising ninth graders come from Heritage Middle School, Grapevine Middle School, and Colleyville Middle School, depending on the students' address and their placement in the district feeder pattern. Although Colleyville Heritage is in Colleyville, its students have addresses in Colleyville, Grapevine, and Euless.

History

Colleyville Heritage High School, the second public high school in the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District, opened its doors on August 15, 1996, two years after the construction that began on March 1, 1994. The school's first principal, Dr. Marlin Stanberry, held his position for eight years (1996-2004).[4][5] Other past principals include Dr. Robin Ryan (2004-2006), Becky Prentice (2006-2012), and Dr. Joe Harrington (2012-2013). The current principal, as of 2014, is Conrad Streeter.[6][7][8]

Opening with approximately 1,300 enrolled students, Colleyville Heritage began as an 4A division school in accordance with UIL alignment policy,[9] grew to a 5A school in 1999,[10] and again to a 6A school in 2014 until it returned to 5A in the 2016-17 school year.[11] The school has no direct feeder system; therefore, enrollment is based on students' home addresses and the middle school they attended.

Principals

Dr. Marlin Stanberry (1996-2004)

In a nationwide search for a leader to open Colleyville Heritage High School in 1996, Dr. Marlin Stanberry was selected to be the school's first principal, with responsibility for hire of a large portion of the teaching staff. In his initial remarks, Stanberry illustrated his vision to "build a cathedral for kids." Leadership was a staple of his time at Colleyville Heritage and his career as a whole. Having attended leadership courses locally and at Harvard University, he provided and taught similar courses at Colleyville Heritage and was an adjunct faculty member of Tarleton State University and the University of North Texas. He expressed his "drive and passion to share experience with other people" and his passion for "helping people learn more about themselves so that they may become more effective leaders," upon stepping down from principal in July 2004 to become executive director of leadership development for Grapevine-Colleyville schools. During his time at Colleyville Heritage, illustra a strict enforcement of the policies of the district and the Texas Education Code. For example, in May 2004, made clear by his stringent application of policies concerning the consumption of alcohol at school-sanctioned events. He imposed appropriate consequences for a group of students who had been caught doing so at the school prom, thus setting the precedent for administrative involvement and student ramifications in such issues in the future.[12]

Dr. Robin Ryan (2004-2006)

Ryan came to GCISD in July 2004 after nine years in Carroll ISD as assistant high school principal and principal at the middle, junior high and high school levels. He also worked in Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD and Graham ISD. Since joining CHHS, Ryan has led his administrative team to successes for the campus including:

  • Increasing the numbers and scores of students taking AP and college entrance exams.
  • Increasing TAKS scores in all major areas.
  • Facilitating a record number of National Merit Finalists.
  • Securing the rank 119th in 2005 and 110th in 2004 in Newsweek’s annual list of best high schools in America, and 5th in D Magazine’s list of top ten best high schools in the Dallas area for 2005.
  • Developing the Community Scholar Ambassador Program that encourages academic and community involvement.
  • Developing a new mentoring program for at-risk students that showed immediate success.
  • Encouraging and coaching students to high performance levels in athletics with numerous championships, in academics with daily emphasis on rigor, and the arts with a record number of commendations for quality.[13]

Upon his departure in 2006 Dr. Ryan reflected positively on his time at Colleyville Heritage when he expressed his pride in "the positive relationships built with students, staff and parents," and their combined effort to "overcome numerous obstacles" and "maintain focus on educating students."[14]

Becky Prentice (2006-2012)

The GCISD Board of Trustees approved the appointment of Becky Prentice to the position of principal at Colleyville Heritage High School in July, 2004. Upon taking on her new position at CHHS, she refuted that she was "sad to be leaving the Colleyville Middle School family," but "excited to move forward with the exciting plans that will continue to characterize CHHS as one of the premier high schools in the nation." Prentice completed her bachelor's in education from the University of Texas and a master's in teaching from UT-Arlington, and is a member of the National Middle School Association, Association of Texas Professional Educators, Association for Secondary Curriculum and Development, Texas Staff Development Council, National Staff Development Council, Texas Association of Secondary School Principals, and Phi Delta Kappa. Before she became principal at CHHS, Prentice, she taught math in various schools in GCISD and other districts like Carrollton-Farmer's Branch ISD and Round Rock ISD, worked as an administrative intern and later as vice principal at CHHS until 2002, then served as principal at CMS. At CHHS, she was chief writer of the school’s application for U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon program, leading to CHHS being named a national Blue Ribbon School in May 2002, campus director of the advanced placement/gifted and talented program, campus staff development coordinator and coordinator of the Distinguished Achievement program.[15] The enforcement of discipline, faculty evaluation, and facilitation of programs such as TAAS and other preparation programs she displayed as an administrator were carried over to her leadership role. During her tenure, Prentice has led CHHS in campus initiatives including the development of a five-year strategic plan, implementation of instructional best practices, and the facilitation of Professional Learning Communities. Under her leadership, CHHS recorded significant gains in academic achievement and has retained Recognized status despite increased state standards and rigorous assessments. In addition the high school was often honored for high marks in academics, fine arts, visual arts and athletics, and has been recognized in Newsweek’s Top High Schools in America issue. Her acceptance of an opportunity to serve in as the Coordinator of Assessment for GCISD marked the end of her six-year tenure.[15]

Dr. Joseph Harrington (2012-2013)

With 26 years experience in the field of education, Harrington earned a bachelor's in geology from Buffalo State College in Buffalo, New York, and a master's in educational administration from the University of North Texas. He earned a doctorate in educational leadership from Nova Southeastern University in Miami, Fla. Harrington also holds a Texas Principal Certification and Texas Secondary Science Composite Certification. Prior to his role as principal of CHHS, he had been principal of Medlin Middle School, associate principal for curriculum and instruction in NISD, assistant principal at Northwest High School, and assistant principal at Medlin Middle School.[16] In addition, he served the district as summer programs coordinator for two years and secondary summer school principal for two years and was also a teacher and coach at Marcus High School and Flower Mound High School. Harrington's experiences and achievements closely matched the CHHS community's needs. During his brief time at CHHS, he emphasized development of the whole student, valued success in academics, and encouraged student involvement in extracurricular and community activities.[17] On June 18, 2013, he accepted a position as Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Education in Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD and upon leaving he recollected, ¨although our time together was brief, I am so very proud of the work we have accomplished together during the past year.¨

Mr. Conrad Streeter (2013–present)

Selected by the GCISD Board of Trustees in July 2013, with input from the community, on the desired qualifications and characteristics of a new principal for CHHS, Conrad Streeter looked "forward to leading one of the premier North Texas high schools into the future" and illustrated his drive to "build on the success of [its] students and community." Streeter received his Bachelor of Science degree from North Carolina State University and his Master of Education degree from the University of North Texas. He then served as principal of Argyle Intermediate School for four years and assistant principal in Lewisville ISD. While at Lewisville, Streeter was an Aide to the Deputy Commander through the Texas Army National Guard and a science teacher and coach at Hedrick Middle School. He also served as a science/math teacher at Aurora Public Schools, Lee County Schools and Coppell ISD. Key achievements in his education career include restructuring the Professional Learning Communities program to provide greater focus on student work, improving communication with parents, teachers and students, and integrating technology within classrooms and instruction, which he incorporated in his leadership at CHHS. In addition to his success as a campus leader, Streeter's leadership skills have been recognized across the state.[18]

Campus

CHHS, adjacent to Highway 121, with a campus area of 3000 square feet, was purchased from the Harrington Estate in 1996. The campus is surrounded by facilities including a football field, eight tennis courts, and two baseball fields. The football field is 120-yards with a quarter-mile track around it and is used for sporting events, rented by the community, and practiced on by athletes. The administration and counseling offices are to the right of the main entrance. The first floor encompasses the Panther Den, the Go Center for computer access, and the lecture hall.

The academic wing has three stories and is constructed in a circuit-like pattern. There are five PC labs and five Mac labs provided for student research, a computer science lab, and an animation room. The school also provides science facilities including six biology labs, five physics labs, and four chemistry labs. The academic wing also includes an elevator for staff members or students with extenuating circumstances.

Colleyville Heritage features a two-story athletic wing; a 2500-occupant main gym used for sporting events and pep rallies; four auxiliary gyms used for basketball, dance, and wrestling; a recreational courtyard; two choir halls; a black box theatre with a construction workshop; a band hall with eight practice rooms; and a 1500-seat auditorium.

"Buster" and "Babs" are the official mascots that support sporting teams. There is a bronze panther located within the building named "Pride" that can be seen near the Panther Den.

Traditions

Students at Colleyville Heritage High School celebrate many loved traditions. On the day of home football games, students attend a pep rally where they enjoy Pep Boy skits, dance performances, and cheer routines. During homecoming week, students participate in a parade in front of the school and observe a fireworks show. Black Attack, a coordinated student section, is present at football, basketball, and volleyball games to cheer on and support the Panther athletes. Colleyville Heritage High School also participates in Red Ribbon Week and other national awareness events. Colleyville has a longstanding rivalry with neighboring school Grapevine High School. The annual football game between the two schools, known as the Red Rail Rivalry, is one of the most anticipated games of the year for both communities. Colleyville has won a slight majority of games and has not lost to Grapevine in the past five years.[19] Although Colleyville has joined the 6A classification while Grapevine has remained in the 5A class until the 2016-17 school year when Colleyville joined them back at 5a, the schools continue to play each other.

CHHS students also participate in numerous annual charitable events, such as Color Runs and food drives. In 2013, students began selling shirts to raise money for Water is Basic instead of buying homecoming mums and garters. The tradition, known as HOPEcoming, has been continued by the students and has raised thousands of dollars to provide clean water in Sudan.

Basketball (girls)

The Lady Panther basketball program began the same year the school was established. Since 2002, the team has been head coached by Dianna Sager, who received Coach of the Year in the 5-5A district in 2012.[56] Sager was also promoted to Athletic Coordinator of Colleyville Heritage in May 2014.[57] Each year, players across every district are given awards commending them for their outstanding performances. Colleyville Heritage has had at least three players each year since 2003 who have received awards in this All-District category. This includes recognitions such as MVP, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, and 1st/2nd Team All-District.[58]

The CHHS cross country team was established in 1996 and currently competes in the Texas 5A UIL competition.[59] The coaching staff for each year is as follows: Maxie Hays (1996-1999),[60] Allen Burns (1999-2004),[61] Robin McCourt (2004-2006), Lindy Lombard (2007-2012),[59] and Will Carter (2013–present).[62] The CHHS cross country program includes girls’ and boys’ JV and Varsity teams that are composed of 9th-12th grade students. Cross country is a non-cut sport, but only the top seven athletes, as determined by the current coach for each race, are allowed to participate at the Varsity level. Colleyville Heritage High School Cross Country individuals have made three state appearances:

Year Runner Place Time
2008 Alyssa Nielson 2nd 10:55 (3.2 km)[63]
2009 Alyssa Nielson 4th 11:14 (3.2 km)[64]
2014 David Strome 1st 15:23 (5 km)[65]

The Colleyville Heritage Cross Country team has competed in various races at the Nike South XC Invitational, located in The Woodlands, Texas, during the past two consecutive years. In the fall of 2014, David Strome placed 2nd place at the Nike South Elite Boy’s Race.[66] On November 8 of 2014, David Strome, then in 11th grade, placed 1st at the UIL state competition in Round Rock, TX.[67]

Football

The Colleyville Heritage football team played its inaugural season in 1996, winning few games within the first two seasons. Since then, the team has made the playoffs in nine consecutive seasons beginning in 2006 to 2015, with a 75-29 record during this span. During the 2006 season, the team reached the state quarterfinals before losing to eventual state champion Southlake Carroll. The team won its first district championship in the 2001 season, and finished with a 10-2 mark before losing to Desoto in the second round of the playoffs. The Panthers reached ten game victories again in the 2012 season, but lost in the second round of the playoffs to Waco Midway.[68]

For the first eleven years, the team was led by head coach Chris Cunningham, who previously worked as the defensive coordinator at Grapevine High School. He guided the program to a 63-58 record during his tenure. He also led the team's only district championship in 2001, and its farthest run in the playoffs in 2006 before leaving for Prestonwood Christian Academy in Plano. Mike Fuller, formerly the coach at Coppell, replaced Cunningham before the 2007 season.[69] Fuller then led the team to a 60-19 record in 7 seasons, and reached the playoffs each year. In the spring of 2014, Fuller stepped down from his position to become the head coach at Decatur High School, and was replaced by former Odessa Permian and Austin Westlake head coach Darren Allman.[70] In his season with the Panthers, Allman led the team to a playoff berth before losing to eventual state champion Cedar Hill in the first round of the tournament.[71] Allman left CHHS in the spring of 2015 to become head athletic director for Carroll ISD.[72] For the 2015–2016 season, the Panthers are led by new head coach Joe Willis, who won a state championship in 2012 as the head coach of 5A Cedar Park High School.

The Panthers found their first win over local rival Grapevine High School in the 2001 season. The rivalry dates back to the school's first season when the cities of Grapevine and Colleyville were split between the two high schools at the time of Colleyville Heritage High School's construction. Colleyville leads the series 11-9, but has won eight of the previous nine meetings and five consecutively. In 2010, the rivalry was officially named "The Battle of the Red Rail" and given a trophy.[73]

The varsity home football games are played at Mustang-Panther Stadium, a 9,100-seat multi-purpose venue that Colleyville Heritage shares with Grapevine High School.[74] The junior varsity and freshman football teams play their games on the CHHS campus field.

Gymnastics

CHHS gymnastics is a cut sport. Prior to the 2010-2011 school year, anyone could sign up for the team. However, that year, CHHS coaches were finally allowed to implement the tryout process to create JV and Varsity teams. CHHS gymnastics won the 2012-2013 district meet and made CHHS history by qualifying as a team for State in 2012.

Lacrosse

The Colleyville lacrosse program was started in 2002 and is considered a club team as it is not affiliated with UIL. As of 2015, Gary Dennington is the head coach and is assisted by Darrel Barabash, James Kaleigh, and Ryan Gradke.[75] The program had its most notable year in 2014 when the team placed 5th in the state.[76]

Soccer (boys)

The Colleyville Heritage boys soccer team was established in 1996 at the school’s opening. From the 2014-2015 season to the 2016-2017 season, the team competes in the UIL 6A District 7. The team's deepest playoff push came in the 2010-2011 season, under head coach Mike Ridley, when the team reached the 5th round of the competition and became the State Champions.[77] The previous head coaches are: John Furin (1997-2000), Rex Armstrong (2001), Jason Venable (2002-2003), Brian Beswick (2004-2007),[78] Mike Ridley (2008-2013), and Adam Phillips (2014–present).

Soccer (girls)

The Colleyville Heritage girls soccer team was created along with the founding of Colleyville Heritage High School in 1996. The Lady Panthers currently compete in the UIL 7-5A district as of 2016-2017, and will continue to compete in this district until 2016. Misail Tsapos led the team from 1998 to 2001. In 2002, head coach John Furin led the team for eight years until Misail Tsapos took charge again in 2010.

The team won the Class-4A state title in 1999, defeating Friendswood High School 2-0.[80] The team returned to the state finals in 2011, but ended as the runner up.[80] Lady Panthers' soccer has consistently competed with the top teams in its area for around a decade.[81]

Softball

The Lady Panthers Softball team was established in 1996 at the inception of the high school. Currently a UIL district 5A team, Lady Panthers Softball consists of one Varsity team and, as of 2014, two Junior Varsity teams: JV Black and JV Red. The Lady Panthers regularly play teams within its district such as the L.D. Bell Lady Raiders, R.L. Turner Lady Lions, Irving Nimitz Lady Vikings, Irving Lady Tigers, Irving MacArthur Lady Cardinals, Grapevine Lady Mustangs, and the Trinity Lady Trojans.[82] The Lady Panthers play both the fall and spring season, and have been doing so for the last several years. The team is ranked 65th in the region, 299th in the state, and 2698th in the country.[83]

The Lady Panthers have made several appearances in Finals and District playoffs, and were district champions in 1997, 1998, and 2014. In the 1996-1997 school year the Lady Panthers reached Regional Quarterfinals, and in the 1997-1998 school year the team reached State Semifinals. The 2002-2003 achievements include reaching Area, Bi-District, and Playoffs in the 2004-2005 season. Additionally, the team progressed to Bi-District and Playoffs in 2006-2007, 2007-2008, 2012–2013, and 2013-2014.[84]

The Lady Panthers' latest achievements include going 14-0 during the 2013-2014 district games;[85] the team won 14 district games in a row and made it to the playoffs where the Lady Panthers played two games against the Hebron Lady Hawks.[86]

The Colleyville Heritage track and field program has been active since the school's opening in 1996; students participate in running, jumping, throwing, and field events.[91] Track is a no-cut sport: any athlete in track is able to compete in meets. The history of head coaches for the track program is as follows: Maxie Hays (1996-1999), Allen Burns (1999-2004), and Bill Anderson (2004-present).[92] Seven athletes have competed at the UIL 5A State Championships in the last five years.

Wrestling

After many years in the UIL 5A district, Colleyville Heritage’s wrestling team now participates in the UIL 6-5A district. The most decorated wrestler to attend Colleyville Heritage is Jeremy Sandoval, who won state championship in 2006 in the 112 weight class; 2007 in the 130 weight class; and 2008 in the 130 weight class.[112] Going into his senior year, Jeremy had 101 wins and one loss, and he came in third place in the state tournament of 2009 for the 140 weight class.[113] Jeremy now attends the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga where he is on the wrestling team. During Jeremy Sandoval's time at CHHS, the head coach was David Traver, who held the position from 2004 to 2009, while the current wrestling head coach at Colleyville Heritage is Waymon May, who became the coach in 2013.[114]

Other organizations

Colleyville Heritage High School offers a diverse selection of extracurricular clubs and organizations for students.[115] Some activities are part of national chapter, such as National Honor Society, but others, such as the Red Jackets and Spirit Sisters, are unique to the school.[116][117] Colleyville Heritage offers the standard range of organizations such as Student Council and Key Club. There are also language and cultural clubs that correspond to language classes offered in the school, such as French Club. Some students propose their own clubs or organizations for mutual interests, such as Poetry Slam Club.[115]

Best Buddies

Best Buddies International is an organization that aims to create one-to-one relationships between students with and without intellectual/developmental disabilities, creating friendships in an effort to positively impact many individuals.[118] The current sponsor, Toni Byam-Pirotte, helped found the Best Buddies chapter at Colleyville Heritage High School. Colleyville Heritage Best Buddies aims to expose a great deal of the student population at CHHS to the special education students at Colleyville Heritage.[119] The Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District has a Special Olympics program in which intellectually challenged students are given the opportunity to compete in Olympic-type sports.[120] The program at GCISD has existed for 30 years, and the district annually hosts a GCISD Special Olympics Track Meet, which allows students from all over the metroplex to come and compete in track styled events. Currently, the program in the Grapevine-Colleyville School District has 100 athletes, and is still growing.[121]

Leadership

The Leadership Class has been offered at Colleyville Heritage High School (as well as several other schools across GCISD) for many years. In this class, students come together to improve the school's environment and community.[122] These students are in charge of the student council organization,[123] and strive to set an example for the rest of the student body. To apply for the program, students fill out applications with short essay questions. The essays are looked over by the students of the leadership class from the previous year and by Terri Kitzmiller, the leader of the program. Each year, an average of 40 kids are accepted into the class. During a normal day, the students from class make posters for upcoming school events, help teachers with their needs, and perform other tasks around the school to improve the aura of the campus. The students of the leadership class take part in dress up days, and also encourage other students to take part. In the fall, the Leadership class works on Homecoming and the homecoming parade. These events can include fireworks, for which the Leadership class fundraises.[124] Around November, the Leadership class works on the Color Run Against Human Trafficking. During February, March, and April, the students work on senior citizen prom which is held at a retirement home for senior citizens. During April and May, the students strive to go the Texas State Leadership Conference.

PALs

PALs (Peer Assisted Leadership) is an organization in Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District that consists of a variety of students from different walks of life who are all tasked with the same goal of creating a better school environment and setting.[125] In order to be part of this organization, a student must first be nominated by his/her fellow peers and teachers who feel that he/she has the characteristics of a PAL. Once selected, the student is asked to submit answers to essay questions and is given an interview in front of a selected group of adults. If a student scores high enough, he/she will be granted a position in the PALs’ class which typically holds around 30 students. This group of students provides assistance and spirit both inside and outside of CHHS.[126] During a normal week, a PAL can be expected to create posters for upcoming events, sell school spirit shirts, and provide a helping hand for teachers. CHHS PALs are also paired with students from the GCISD elementary schools, which PALs visit once a week in attempt to develop new friendships. In 2013, this organization took part in HOPEcoming, which allowed students to purchase $20 T-shirts instead of homecoming mums. All the money raised was then donated to the 'Water is Basic' organization, which is responsible for drilling clean water wells in Sudan.[127][128][129] PALs also partake in school dress up days and other theme days in an attempt to build school spirit within Colleyville Heritage High School.[122]

Pep Boys

The Pep Boys organization was created in 1996 with the help of Dr. Wes Watters,[130] a faculty member who has been in charge of the club since 1998, to increase school spirit. The organization was inspired by other male spirit organizations in the area such as the Grapevine High School Spirit Rustlers. To become a Pep Boy, a student must be interviewed and must undergo several trials, including skit writing. A total of 14 members are selected from the application process. The boys entertain and energize the student body during Pep Rallies with skits based on recent events in the student body. The Pep Boys also entertain crowds at football games with cheers, dances, and other antics. They support the football team by running flags across the field as the team enters. [131]

Red Jackets

The CHHS Red Jackets act as representatives of Colleyville Heritage High School and are called on to serve as ambassadors for all of GCISD.[132] The Red Jackets were started by the current superintendent of GCISD, Dr. Robin Ryan, during his time as the principal of Colleyville Heritage High School. He adopted the idea from the Green Jackets of Southlake Carroll, a neighboring school district. Red Jackets act as ambassadors in their school and community by helping with public events such as graduations, open houses, and assemblies. Future Red Jackets are first nominated then chosen from a list of eligible sophomores who have maintained a 4.5 or higher GPA by the CHHS faculty, amounting to 10 male and 10 female students; therefore, there are only 20 junior members and 20 senior members in total.[133] These requirements show that each selected student is not only diligent and responsible, but has also made a positive impression on his/her teachers as leaders and learners in the classroom.[134]

Science Olympiad

Science Olympiad is a national science competition with thousands of teams composed of middle and high school students. The teams compete in 23 events out of a possible 28 events spanning all of the major STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) disciplines.[135] The CHHS Science Olympiad team reached the Texas State Competition in 2014 and placed 19th.[136]

Speech and debate

The Colleyville Heritage Speech and Debate program was established in 1996 by Coach Cindi Timmons. Each year, the program intends to develop students’ public speaking and performance skills while creating a sense of competition. As a part of the program, students can participate in four different types of debate—Congressional, Lincoln-Douglas, Public Forum and Policy—along with various Extemporaneous Acting, including Poetry, Prose, Duet Acting, US Extempt, Humorous Interpretation, and Original Oratory options. The team competes in the Texas Forensic Association State Tournament, National Forensic League National Speech Tournament, International Public Policy Forum, and other local and national tournaments. In 1998, CHHS hosted the Texas Forensic Association Competition[137] and, in 2006, the National Forensic League Speech Tournament.[138] David Huston has been the head coach of the CHHS Speech and Debate program since 2005. He has led various teams and individuals to both state and national tournaments. During the competitive season, debaters have the opportunity to receive awards at local tournaments, helping them later qualify for the national and state tournaments.

Controversies

In 2004, allegations were brought against Colleyville claiming that the culture of the athletics program pressured students to use performance-enhancing drugs in order to better their performance. Coaches were alleged to have turned a blind eye as well as implicitly encouraged the use of drugs by practices such as bench strength comparison. A Dallas Morning News report entitled "The Secret Edge" prompted the district to conduct its own investigation, which found no evidence of official wrongdoing, but the district made assurances it would do more to reduce pressure on the students to use these drugs.[141]

This controversy was one of the factors that led to UIL imposing a random drug testing policy for all students enrolled in UIL activities beginning in the 2007-2008 school year.[142] Although this was a new requirement for Texas schools, CHHS had already implemented its own drug testing system two years prior. This policy is still discussed and criticized by many in the district because of the high cost and the small percentage of positive tests: less than 4% of those selected to be drug tested return positive results. Others, however, argue that the policy of random drug testing should be expanded further than the UIL boundaries.[143]
