Riviera Independent School District -

This October, a few of Mrs. Cannon’s and Coach Amaya’s students entered the, “Young Writers Fright Club” contest, in October. We just received notice that these four brilliant students have been chosen for publication in, “Fright Club - Into the Whispering Shadows.” Kaufer Early College High School, along with the winning students, will receive a copy of the publication. We are so proud of our students and their passion for writing, the ability to produce excellence in a setting of strict criteria, and represent themselves and their district through the expression of language!
