Five Corsicana Middle School students are headed to the National Competition in Atlanta, GA
"The Amazing Shake" is an etiquette and social competency competition that was created by the Ron Clark Academy and has been challenging students in unique social situations. The program focuses on manners, discipline, respect and professional conduct. Thanks to visionary leadership and the generosity of the Corsicana Education Foundation and local businesses, all five students get to go compete at the national competition in Atlanta, GA. In the beginning, 120 (7th and 8th grade) students signed-up to participate in this program Corsicana Middle School. Students went through speeches, pitches, several interviews, social mixers, and etiquette rounds that eventually led to the top five. Several community leaders volunteered to help judge the local competitions.
"We are so proud of ALL the students who chose to compete. The competitions were intense," said JP Johnson, principal of CMS. "The confidence gained by all the students is priceless." CMS plans to incorporate many elements of the Amazing Shake across the campus in the near future.
Wayne Cater, NBC 5, came to see the top 10 students and was there for the top five announcement. Look for his segment, "In the Classroom with Carter" in the next few weeks.
Top Five: (L to R) Anna Dixon, Natasha Vargas, Thomashire Sawyerr, Elena Herrin, and Callan Nutt.

Corsicana ISD Earns State’s Highest Fiscal Accountability Rating
Corsicana Independent School District received a rating of “Superior Achievement” under the Texas’ Schools FIRST financial accountability rating system. The 2017-2018 ratings are based on annual financial reports provided to Texas Education Agency (TEA) by districts and charters from the 2016-2017 school year.
Created by the 77th Texas Legislature in 2001, the financial accountability rating system – known as the School Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST) – is designed to encourage public schools to better manage their financial resources in order to provide the maximum allocation possible for direct instructional purposes.
The financial accountability system requires TEA to review the audited financial reports from all districts and charters. Based on the submitted information, one of four financial management ratings is assigned: Superior, Above Standard, Standard or Substandard. A designation of Suspended Data Quality or Undetermined can also be assigned when a district or charter fails to submit its annual financial report by the submission deadline and/or no financial data is available for review.
The FIRST ratings are based on 20 established financial indicators, such as operating expenditures for instruction, tax collection rates, student-teacher ratios, and long-term debt.
“I am proud that CISD’s financial accountability is continuously recognized by the TEA as ‘Superior,’” said CISD Superintendent Dr. Diane Frost. “The CISD Board of Trustees and Marti Shaner, Assistant Superintendent of Finance, and the business services staff, provide oversight and management for the district finances. Recognition of this financial responsibility is important to the District and to the community we serve.”
