Texas High School Coaches Association Announces Mentees for the 2024 R.O.C.K Coaches Mentoring Program. The mentoring program supports selected coaches who are in their 1st-5th year in the profession. Congratulations to Coach Hannah Morales for being selected as a R.O.C.K. mentee!
San Marcos, Texas (February 8, 2024) – The THSCA and Texas A&M University Thornton- McFerrin Coaching Academy announced the 2024 R.O.C.K. (Rare, Outstanding, Compelled & Knowledgeable) Coaches Mentoring Program mentees.
The R.O.C.K. Coaches Mentoring Program is a partnership between the Texas High School Coaches Education Foundation and Texas A&M University Thornton-McFerrin Coaching Academy. The R.O.C.K. program was created to meet the needs of and retain high school coaches in Texas. Data shows many first through fifth-year coaches and teachers are leaving the profession. There is a critical need to cultivate and assist these professionals in finding their passion and being prepared as coaches, teachers, and leaders in an ever-evolving environment.
THSCA coaches and athletic directors can nominate a coach that meets the following requirements: first through fifth-year coach, active coach employed by a UIL-sanctioned school, and willing to commit to the 2-year program. A committee of athletic directors representing different regions of the state chooses the R.O.C.K. mentees. The R.O.C.K. Coaches Mentoring Program will match a new coach with an experienced coach (the R.O.C.K. mentor) to gain advice, encouragement, and insights into the profession to help them grow in the mentee’s desired coaching fields.
The R.O.C.K. Coaches Mentoring Program Class of 2024 mentees and mentors will attend the 2024 R.O.C.K. Coaches Mentoring Program Symposium held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, for a two-day workshop with speakers, discussions, and networking opportunities. After the Symposium, R.O.C.K. mentees and mentors will work through a year-long curriculum developed by the Texas A&M University Thornton-McFerrin Coaching Academy. This curriculum provides bi-monthly access to virtual learning modules with discussion prompts, activities, situational challenges, and more for each pair to discuss. In July, the R.O.C.K. mentees will also volunteer as convention staff for the annual THSCA Coaching School and attend sessions designed specifically for coaches in the R.O.C.K. Mentoring Program.
The following Texas High School Coaches Education Foundation and R.O.C.K. Coaches Mentoring Program sponsors make this program possible: Balfour, Child ID Program, Dell Children’s Ascension, Texas Farm Bureau Insurance, Hudl, H-E-B, Charles Schwab, 2Words Character Development, and the Dallas Cowboys.

Good afternoon. Out of an abundance of caution, our elementary campus went into lockdown briefly this afternoon from 12:23 until 12:35 after receiving a call from the Sheriff's Department regarding an alleged armed individual at a residence a couple of blocks away from the campus. Students and staff were not in immediate danger and the lockdown was initiated for precautionary reasons. We lifted the lockdown after law enforcement notified us that there was no threat of danger. Also, as a reminder, our district employs armed Guardians on each campus in order to ensure the safety of our students and staff. Thank you for your support.
