Cinco Ranch Dance Students
Our dance program participated in the very first State Dance Assessment for Texas. Division 1 ratings were given by all adjudicators. The assessment took place at Katy HS and could only include level 1 dancers, so no dance team students competed. The students learned choreography, perfected it and performed within a short amount of time.  They were gracious ambassadors for Cinco Ranch HS and have helped make history! Please congratulate these students:
Fadia Conroy, Taylor Lee, Camila Blanc, Lois Oladejo, Briana Eriksen, Madelyn Null, Stephanie Silva, Maria Cardenas, Karina Jalomo, Madeline Harkins, Valentina Marcano, Catherine Braaten, Sasche Allen, Sarah Jagodzinski
