Seventh graders at Cunningham Middle School at South Park put their engineering skills to the ultimate test during a STEM Engineering Design Challenge! 🔨
Working in teams, students designed and built multi-story towers. Students tested their structures on a shake table to simulate an earthquake. 🏢
👏 Way to build, innovate and think like engineers!

CCISD is the place to be! 🍎🎉
Yesterday’s sold-out State of the District brought together nearly 800 guests to celebrate our students, staff and all the exciting opportunities happening across our district!
Our students were at the heart of it all. ❤️ Students greeted guests, performed on stage, helped with sound and lighting, and showcased programs like fashion design, medical sciences, aviation and more during the Hearts & Minds Showcase.
A special thank you to the culinary programs at Moody and Ray High Schools, which made the day even sweeter with desserts! 🍰
The event also raised $178,000 for the Corpus Christi Education Foundation! These funds support CCISD students and educators, including Grants for World-Class Schools, which help bring innovative, hands-on and real-world learning experiences into our classrooms.
A huge thank you to CCEF, our generous sponsors and everyone who made this celebration possible.

🍎 Alumni Spotlight 📚
Meet Erika Gonzalez! Erika attended Montclair Elementary School, Cullen Place Middle School and King High School. She teaches at Menger Elementary School. ✏️🍎
"As a student, I was a struggling reader and there were times when I lacked confidence in my abilities. My third-grade teacher, Ms. Safir was patient with me, encouraged me, and helped me realize that struggling didn’t mean I couldn’t be successful. Her support made a lasting impact on me and ultimately inspired me to become a teacher myself."
