So many good things at Nichols JH last week! Our Gateway students presented their robotics designs and did a fabulous job! Beginner saxophones serenaded the front office. Band is preparing for UIL and sounded great. Our Sweepstakes Orchestra sounded beautiful! 🥹 And 7th grade athletics had an incredible lesson where all students were focused and listening and in sync. Leave your Legacy, Mustangs! ... See MoreSee Less
Hello Family! We had our 1st Annual Picnic with the Parents event today. We had over 130 parents show up to have lunch today! We are already planning to make next year bigger and better.

Hey Family! We celebrated our 8th graders today! Over 200 students qualified for the pizza party! All in all D.R. Horton Homes sponsored over $600 for students who raised the bar and met their growth goal and/or earned meets or masters on Science and History! The great news was they were all so helpful in cleaning up after themselves. At 4:10, 232 students left a celebration with not a single plate, pizza crust, Gatorade bottle or soda can left on the table. The Mustang Way! Leave Your Legacy, Mustangs! (I got less pics bc we were busy passing out pizza 😅) ... See MoreSee Less
