Cotulla High School

As the San Antonio Stockshow has come to an end, we’d like to congratulate CHS Senior, Dannika Walker, and CHS Junior, Ryan Sanchez, for their appearances at the show this past week. 🎉

Dannika earned a spot in the auction for placing first in class with her market goat where she was awarded monies that can be used towards her higher education. Ryan competed in the Calf Scramble finals and was once again the first to catch a calf, becoming the 2026 Calf Scramble Champion! He earned a total of $3,800 towards a livestock project for the upcoming year.

We are extremely proud of our FFA members! 👏

A representative from Lincoln Electric recently visited with our CHS welding students! The representative went over hands-on career training that Lincoln Electric offers such as: Automotive Computerized Manufacturing, Diesel Mechanics, & HVAC Electrical Welding. Students were able to ask questions and learn about possible job opportunities. 👏

A team of 12 Cotulla Cowboy powerlifters competed at the Natalia Last Qualifying Powerlifting Meet, where more than 60 lifters from various schools battled for final qualifying spots. The Cowboys powered through and earned an impressive 2nd Place Team Finish! 👏🏆
