West Orange-Cove CISD
Inspire. Educate. Celebrate.
Join our Littlest Mustang Family at North Early Learning Center!
Continuing our celebration of National School Counseling Week, we'd like to highlight our counselors at West Orange-Stark Middle and High School.
As students grow into young adults, they face unique emotional, social, and academic challenges. With their focus set on their future post-graduation, our school counselors provide the guidance and resources they need to achieve their goals. From individual and group counseling, to planning academic pathways and connecting with community and industrial partners, our counselors put in the work to amplify Mustang success every day.
Please take the time to give a big thanks to our WOSMS and WOSHS counselors!
• Iberia Smith, M. Ed. - School Counselor at WOSMS
• Erin Tarver, M. Ed., LPCA - School Counselor at WOSHS
• Janee Alcodray, MS Ed. - School Counselor at WOSHS

7th-grade science students at West Orange-Stark Middle School got some hands-on experience of the aquatic variety with a visit to Shangri La Botanical Gardens. This anatomy lesson involved dissecting a squid to learn about its different body parts and how they function. Field trips like these provide students with engaging educational experiences, reinforcing what they learn in the classroom.
Our Mustangs were also praised by the staff for how well-behaved they were during their visits. Great job, Mustangs!

All A students from West Orange-Stark High School earned a special trip to Main Event in Beaumont by making it onto the Superintendent's Honor Roll for the first semester. They had a blast playing arcade games, bowling, and competing in laser tag before a well-deserved lunch.
