Sulphur Springs High School Seniors to be Given Options for `09 Graduation Celebration
July 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment
graduation-celebration
Shortly after seniors begin the school year at Sulphur Springs High School, they will be surveyed on a couple of options they have for next spring’s Graduation Celebration. Option one will be to continue to have the event at the high school on graduation night. Option two will be to have it at Main Event in Plano. Fine Arts Secretary Cindy Welch, also the mother of a senior this year, says option two developed after it was learned that seniors at Sulphur Springs would be graduating during the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Ms. Welch explains the schedule does not include the usual off day before graduation that parents use to decorate. Main Event offers 16,000 square feet of bowling, laser tag, an arcade of 75-games, billiards, a movie room, karaoke and even a virtual roller coaster. And parents don’t have to clean up. Ms. Welch says she hopes the seniors will still have to pay only $5 for a ticket. She explains students will be taken to and from Main Event on Graduation night by charter buses.

July 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment
The Sulphur Springs School Board received a presentation on the proposed 2009 Graduation Celebration at their Monday night meeting. Teacher Evelyn Tate and Fine Arts Secretary Cindy Welch led a group of teachers, sponsors and parents in making the presentation. Changes are being considered even in location. Past graduation parties have occurred at the High School. The presenters said they were interested in surveying in-coming seniors to get their opinions.
Concerning personnel hirings and resignations, Superintendent Patsy Bolton seems mostly concerned with three vacant science teaching positions at the High School after another resignation was accepted Monday night. Ms. Bolton says Sulphur Springs has a hard time competing with salaries offered in other parts of Texas and there is no help coming from the state.

A large crane took down all four light standards at Gerald Prim Stadium Tuesday morning. Sulphur Springs ISD Director of Plant Operations Dale Guest explains this was done to greatly improve the lighting at the stadium. Guest says current stadium lighting is far below UIL recommendations. After new lights are installed on the poles, the crane will return to put the poles back up. Guest says the new lighting levels will double or triple current levels. He says there will not only be more lights on the poles but the lights will be replacing ones that have lost a lot of their power. Eagle baseball Stadium will also be getting new poles and lights which should improve its’ lighting.

Ms. Bolton says the district is also expected to lose funds due to state wishes to mainstream as many special ed students as possible into regular classes.
