Dear COCISD Parents & Community,

It seems like just yesterday we were sending our graduates off to their next adventure in life, and now it is time to start another new school year.  I would like to take a few moments to welcome  you to the 2010-11 school year in Coldspring-Oakhurst Consolidated Independent School District.

Each new school year brings new challenges, excitement, and new beginnings. A school district is like the individuals in it and cannot rest on successes from the past but must push hard to make sure that the legacy of success continues for future years. James Hilton wrote, “If I had a child who wanted to be an educator, I would bid him Godspeed as if he were going to war. For indeed, the war against prejudice, greed, and ignorance is eternal and in a very real sense, those who dedicate themselves to it, give their lives.” We are thankful for our staff members who have  dedicated themselves to that very purpose in
C-OCISD.

For the 2010-11 school year, our District is committed to continuing our focus on doing WHATEVER IT TAKES TO EDUCATE…. Every Student, Every Classroom, Everyday! We challenge all parents and community members to join us. If we each do our part and not allow failure to be an option or mediocrity to be the standard, we will be on our way to becoming an EXEMPLARY district.

Respectfully,

LaTonya M. Goffney
