If you saw our post last September, you would know that we received a 3 Star Accreditation from Texas Rising Star. Well, we didn’t think that was good enough for our students and families. So with a lot of hard work from our amazing team, we are now 4 Star Accredited! Thank you Ms. Dawn, Ms. Crystal, and the entire staff. I’m so proud of you all!
