By Sam Waller

Moran schools began end-of-course STAAR testing this week with students in third through 10th grades.

Testing began Tuesday, May 3 with freshmen tested in English, and continued on Wednesday with biology.

Upcoming tests include freshmen in U.S. history and eighth graders in science and history,

“Once we get testing done, we’ll have a week of school left,” principal Jo Hise said. “The last days of testing will be May 18-19. Then there will be a week of field trips, awards banquets, field days, and a few more fun things like that.”

Moran will have its inaugural National Honor Society induction at 6:30 p.m. Monday, May 9 at the Moran Events Center.

Hise said eight students will be inducted.
