We are thrilled to share that the amazing Mr. Corey Butler is the winner of the 2025 Texas Lawyers Auxiliary Teacher of the Year Award. This award honors public or private high school or middle school teachers who have made a contribution in the area of law-related education; helped students gain an understanding of the law and their rights and responsibilities; and increased communication between students, educators, and those in the legal profession. Through his law class, Mock Trial, Teen Court, and government classes, Mr. Butler has certainly exceeded expectations in all of these areas--a perfect choice for this prestigious award.
If Mr. Butler has ever been your teacher or your child's teacher, you know how absolutely incredible he is. Please join us in congratulating him!

Sisters Mariah Mack (class of 2023) and Makayla Mack (class of 2025) are now attending Prairie View A&M University together. We could not love this first day photo more! We love to see them reunited as they get their education at a fabulous HBCU--the second oldest school of higher learning in our state! The campus is beautiful, and the spirit and academics are incredible.
Mariah and Makayla are off to a strong start this fall, and we can't wait to hear more about how they are leading and learning at PVAMU. The transition from Talkington to this small college campus has worked well, and they are doing great.
These two both left a legacy of excellence here at Talkington, and we know they will keep that going throughout college and beyond.
Way to go, Warriors!

Have a great first semester at Princeton, Amarachi!
It should not surprise you to hear that class of 2025 graduate Amarachi Uche-Eboh is already getting involved in leadership on her college campus within her first week. She was accepted into Princeton's Student Government, specifically the Sustainability Committee. She was also spotted on the Princeton social media page in their opening exercises (photo above).
We know she will continue the incredible success she had as a Warrior in her new home in New Jersey. With Ivy League resources at her disposal, she will have even more ability to research solutions that change the world.
Amarachi, you amaze us all. Keep that Warrior spirit going! We can't wait to see what you do next.

Our middle school teams played hard against Frenship yesterday. Even though they didn't come away with the victory, all teams improved from last week and will continue to grow as we have morning practices.
The 8th Grade B team played them close the entire game, and the second set of the 8th grade A team was really close.
We are proud of our Warriors, and we look forward to seeing them on the court again next week!

First day of JUNIOR year! (It is crazy how time has flown!)
Kami Mazzolini and Kylie Westhoefer, class of 2023, continue their success at Texas State University. These two have made the most of their time as Bobcats. They have gotten involved on campus, sought opportunities for leadership and taken tough courses. We are excited to share that Kylie is the vice president of membership for Gamma Phi Beta, and Kami is the vice president of finance for Delta Gamma.
They are continuing to push each other and support each other, just as they did here all those years. We could not be more proud of them.
Kami and Kylie, you two really are amazing. We know you will change the world.

When it came time to select her college last year, Mychael Dawodu had a tough choice because a lot of great schools offered her admission and scholarships. After visiting many places, Mychael came back very sure of her choice: Hampton University in Virginia, a top ranked HBCU!
Her first semester has just begun, and she is already loving the campus, the people, and the opportunities. She was accepted into Hampton University's Choir, after participating in choir since elementary school. She was inducted into Hampton University and accepted the class name, Onyx XIV. Her class is the first to receive specific pins at the induction ceremony.
Mychael, you are already missed around here, but we could not be more proud to see this photo of you all grown up and living your best life. We are proud of you for chasing your dreams and getting involved on campus from the outset. Way to go, Warrior!

Class of 2024 graduates, Kiylah Phillips and Angelina Holloway met as middle schoolers and continue to support each other as Texans at South Plains College. Our hearts are full!
We love to see our Warriors staying connected and pushing each other to succeed the way these two are doing. It is at the heart of our mission statement.
Kiylah and Angelina, have a fantastic fall semester! We love to see you working hard to achieve your goals, and these two photos bring us a lot of joy. You have grown up, from impacting our little school community to being out in the real world ready to change people's lives. Keep it up, Warriors.

Jaycie Baxter, THS class of 2025, has joined the Fighting Irish at the University of Notre Dame!
The two photos feature Jaycie in front of the famous Golden Dome at Notre Dame and her first homecoming at Talkington in 6th grade. We are so proud to know everything she accomplished as a student here and to see her already succeeding in her new home, a school ranked #18 in the country with only a 12% acceptance rate! Impressive! She is already seeing how many amazing opportunities there are, and we know she will take full advantage of everything at her disposal!
Actually, she's already on it! Jaycie was selected to participate in the ASCEND summer study program, she has been accepted to the Transformative Leaders Program, and she is a part of the Galvin Scholars. She is taking 19 credit hours (WOW!), and she has fallen in love with the beauty of the campus. She can't believe how green everything is.
We miss you, Jaycie, but our hearts are 100% full of pride.
