West Orange-Cove CISD has been working hard behind the scenes, applying for several grants to ensure our students have all the tools they need to succeed. We are excited to share that we have been approved for several grants, including being selected by the Texas Education Agency as a P-TECH Academy!! P-TECH stands for Pathways in Technology Early College High Schools. The first year is designated for planning, and we will keep you updated on progress as we build a program that provides our students with access to dual credit, industry-based certifications, and real-world career experiences. This is an amazing opportunity for our students to prepare them for success after graduation, whether that is a path to college, career, or both! We are grateful for the support of our staff, students, families, and community partners who helped to make this possible. Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we begin this journey as WOS P-TECH Academy! #woccisd #ptech #tea #publiceducation #mustangmomentum #inspire #educate #celebrate

It was all smiles as dads and students enjoyed playing catch, practicing pitching, and knocking it out of the park with tee ball. A great opportunity to bond and spend some quality time, all while staying active.

A special thanks to David Martin for being our guest speaker, sharing the importance of being present as we empower the next generation for success!

The UIL District 18-4A Varsity Golf Tournament, hosted by West Orange-Stark at Bayou Din Golf Course, came to a close today with some exciting Mustang news!

Sophia Ibarra and William Pugh represented WOS in these two days of intense golf competition. Sophia topped the ladies' leaderboard on both days, walking away with a top score of 170- earning the Girls Medalist plaque and the district title.

From the opening tee shot to the final putt on hole 36, Sophia showcased a complete competitive profile—focused, intentional, resilient, and unwaveringly structured. Tested at every turn, she met the moment with composure and confidence, navigating the course with precision and purpose. Her mastery was on full display throughout the tournament, a reflection of her tireless dedication and commitment to her craft.

One of the defining highlights of her championship run came on the par-4 third hole, where Sophia delivered a spectacular eagle hole-out—an electrifying moment that underscored both her skill and her ability to rise above the field when it mattered most.

With this victory, Sophia advances to represent West Orange-Stark High School at the Regional Tournament, scheduled for April 15–16, 2026, at Bearkat Golf Course in Huntsville, Texas.

Sophia’s performance not only secured a district title but set the tone for what promises to be an exciting postseason. We look forward to watching her continue to compete at the highest level.

Please join us in congratulating both Sophia and William for doing a great job representing #MustangNation!
