Akins Early College High School Home

Today, we learned of the loss of one of our beloved teacher leaders, Ms. Christina Garcia-Mata. Our Akins community is in mourning.

Good morning Eagle Family, On the Weekend of May 8th, our student athletes did a great job shining a positive light on our school. Thank you to all the student groups (Diamonds, Cheer, Volleyball, Girls/Boys Basketball, Football, Track, Baseball, Wrestling) and coaches who came out on Saturday morning to help with the Dia de los Ninos event at Mendez Middle School. They all gave up their Saturday Morning to serve our community and make a difference in the lives of a lot of people. We are beyond proud of all of them.  In addition, track athlete Trystin Brown competed in the 110H at the UIL State Track meet at The University of Texas on Saturday evening. He became the first athlete in school history to compete in the State Meet and represented Akins very well. Trystin will end his track career at Akins with numerous records and finished in the Top 9 in the state of Texas against all other 6A competitors. We are so proud of all his accomplishments.

CTE Health Science teacher, Ms. Jennifer Pittaway shares good news!!! Akins Health Science Dept. donated a massive amount of PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) on the morning of March 23rd. Responding to the call in the community during a National Emergency. Austin Disaster Relief workers were stacking supplies on a pallet to take over to the hospital as it was being unloaded. There is no wait time, as the shortage is so significant. They were amazed by the amount donated by Akins!

White Team: Teah Eveleth, Joaquin Rivera, Amarye Tovar, Devin Ritter, and Coral Rolon (daughter of Ms. Maribel Ramos). This team earned 37th at state their freshmen year (huge accomplishment), 7th as sophomores (after winning the District Title), and 2nd Place as juniors. They absolutely deserve to represent Texas at Nationals.
