On January 23, Cole held a Graduation Information Meeting. Our counseling team and academic support partners discussed graduation plans, endorsements, advanced academics, including dual credit, dual enrollment, and advanced placement, and the Alamo Academies program.

Cole High School students Parker Shuck and Brandon Guzman-Morales recently found a bug in a program from Facebook. While developing their own iOS app, the students downloaded the Facebook "API" code which would allow users in their app to log in using their Facebook account. But, the code they downloaded from Facebook didn't work. They were able to find the bug in the program and decided to email the engineers at Facebook to let them know. It was significant enough that the Facebook engineer that fixed the bug sent both students Facebook t-shirts, stickers, and $45 worth of Facebook coupons! Way to go, Parker and Brandon!

Last weekend, Cole photographers competed in the Association of Texas Photography Instructors Fall Photo Contest, with almost 7000 entries from across the country. Cougar photographers garnered 44 awards, including 3 first place honors in categories with over 200 entries each.
