		<description><![CDATA[When the seniors were young, some imagined growing up and becoming a princess, a police officer, a ballerina, a firefighter or, in senior Isaac Olivas’ case, a rodeo clown. Olivas wanted to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather who was in a tragic accident in a rodeo. Olivas’ grandfather was trampled while working, and that is something that has stuck with him. “My grandpa was trampled while at work and ever since then I’ve wanted to do it for him. I want to protect the cowboy,” Olivas said. “It also seems really exciting to be in the middle of all the action.” Olivas plans to attend Northwestern State University of Oklahoma, which is a college that provides a rodeo program. He also plans to attend as many rodeo schools as he can, including Spanky’s rodeo school, which takes places in June. Olivas said that rodeo clowns are not just there for entertainment value. It is their job to make sure all riders are safe. “As a rodeo clown, I would not only entertain the crowd,” Olivas said, “ I would be making sure that if things got out of hand the cowboys are safe.” Olivas said after school he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Girls soccer coach Robin Montano said that she has wanted to teach since college, and next year provided the best timing and opportunity for that to happen. For the 2012-13 school year, Montano will be coming to the high school to teach English. Her classes will include sophomore and senior English classes. Montano said being a coach and the experiences involved with coaching will help her in the classroom. “Coaching has allowed me to get to know so many students and understand some of the likes and dislikes,” Montano said via e-mail. “However, all of my athletes should know that I do mean business both on the field and in the classroom.” She said there is a definite difference between coaching and teaching. The main difference being that students choose whether or not to go out for a sport or other activity, but English is a required class for every student. “That is one of the differences that could make things more difficult,” Montano said. Despite the difficulties, Montano said she is looking forward to becoming a teacher. “I love seeing others have that ‘ah ha’ moment when the light bulb goes off and they simply get it,” Montano said.

		<description><![CDATA[For the first time, the RaileRobotics team will set up a fireworks stand this summer in order to fundraise for next year’s expenses. It will be located on Washington Avenue in the parking lot of the old Claassen lumber yard from June 29-July 4. The Robotics program has a guaranteed $5,000 every year set aside in the school budget, but a normal season costs about $40,000. Captain David Jantz said the majority of this money comes from the team’s own fundraising. The team applies for grants from big corporations such as AgCo and NASA. AgCo provided $6,000, the largest grant the team received this year. During the school year, team members also do community presentations to try to raise awareness and interest in the Robotics program. “We had a great year and built maybe the best robot we’ve ever had,” Jantz said. “I don’t want to repeat where we have something that could potentially do well at nationals, but we don’t have the funding to do that.” The Team 935 robot placed second in the Kansas City Regional this year, and took first at the Dallas West Regional. The team had built a robot that had the ability to compete [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What will the schedule look like next year? It will be the same as this year. What do you like about the schedule? I still think it serves all of our kids the same way. Ninth and 10th grades do well with the 45 minutes, and others like the 90 minutes, so I just try to mesh the best of both worlds together. I really think for the most part it works. What are your plans for filling teacher and counselor positions? We will fill the vacated positions. Iím working on it and have been for the past three weeks. The teachers that are leaving or retiring will be replaced. What will class sizes look like next year? Similar, not much change at all if any. How will new teachers affect students? I think teachers will grow into the position. They will be very competent people, and overall it will be very smooth. Will there be any other general changes next year? We will have the same master schedule, and there will be as many opportunities for students. Even with some new people on board Iím looking for a very successful year. People who looked at this item also looked [...]]]></description>
