RHS Senior Golfer Finishes Strong

Ava Castillo has had an impressive high school career.  She has represented CFBISD and Ranchview High school with the heart and spirit of a pro.  She participated in her last Class 4A tournament on May 14-15 at the Slick Rock course in Marble Falls.

In the first day of the tournament, Ava scored a 99. The following day she displayed the mental toughness that she has done throughout her career at Ranchview.  She came back and fired her State Tournament best 82. She finished with a score a 181 for the 2 days and tied for 31st place out of 72 golfers.
Ava has been the District Champion All 4 years while at Ranchview. She has made the All-Region team (top 10 medalists) all 4 years. She led the girls team to the State tournament her freshman year and has qualified and participated in the State Tournament 3 out of the 4 years here at Ranchview.
She closed out her career with a par on the difficult 18th hole at Slick Rock hitting a remarkable 5 wood into the wind from 160 yards to within 20 feet of the hole.

Important Information Regarding the Zika Virus

School Superintendents and School Board Members:

Thank you for your commitment to the education of the school children of Texas. We know the impact of our schools extends well beyond the walls of their campuses and into the communities they serve. As the school year draws to a close, mosquito season is just beginning. As hubs of your community, we are asking for your help in preventing the spread of Zika by providing your students and their families with additional information.

Zika is primarily spread through mosquito bites (Aedes aegypti species). As the weather warms and mosquito activity increases, we expect the threat of local mosquito transmission of Zika to resume and persist. Pregnant women are particularly at risk due to the Zika virus’ ability to cause birth defects in unborn infants. We must ensure that their families and their communities are educated on ways they can prevent the spread of Zika. The public health measures we take together will help prevent serious health impacts on the next generation of Texans.

Combatting Zika begins at the local level. When done in concert, these simple steps represent a big step toward preventing the spread of Zika:

  • Apply EPA-approved insect repellant when planning to be outdoors.
  • Wear long-sleeved shirts and wear long pants when outdoors for prolonged periods.
  • Utilize screens or close windows and doors.
  • Regularly remove any standing water in and around your home or school that could provide a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
  • Cover trash cans or containers that may collect water.
  • Visit your doctor if you suspect you’ve been exposed to Zika or exhibit any of the symptoms of Zika, which may include fever, rash, joint pain, and red eyes.

For your convenience, we have enclosed flyers (below) that identify the steps outlined above. Disseminating these flyers to your school children as the school year draws to an end provides an easy method for educating your community and ensuring that, together, we can prevent the spread of Zika.

DSHS’ website dedicated to Zika (www.TexasZika.org) has a variety of other free information and materials —in English and Spanish – available for download and order. DSHS has created a Zika communications toolkit for organizations interested in sharing important information with their stakeholders, including employees, school-aged children and their families, and it features newsletter copy, social media content, and more. The website also includes website banners and other shareable graphics; we ask you to please post and share these images on your ISD and school websites and social media platforms.

We encourage all schools and communities to take action now to address the threat of the Zika virus in Texas this summer. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us or your local health department as we work together to limit locally-transmitted cases of Zika in Texas and help you prepare school campuses for the summer months. Please feel free to send any questions to TexasZika@dshs.texas.gov. Thank you for your assistance in this important public health matter.

Sincerely,
Greg Abbott (Governor), John Hellerstedt (M.D. Commissioner, DSHS), Mike Morath (Commissioner, TEA)

Ranchview Golfer Exceeds at Regional Tournament

Ranchview High School senior, Ava Castillo, had to dig deep at this year’s Regional Tournament.  The two-day Regional 4AAAA Golf Tournament took place at Van Zandt Country Club. Ava had a difficult time on day one shooting a score of 90. She was in 15th place out of 85 regional qualifiers.

On day two, Ava had to shoot better than a 76, break the school record, and shoot a personal best in a high school tournament if she wanted to qualify for the state tournament.

Ava persevered and shot a 74! Ava will be going back to State to represent CFBISD and the Ranchview golf program!

The state tournament will be in Mable Falls at Horseshoe Bay Resort later this month.

Congratulations Ava & good luck at State!
