English: Bridge Over Communication Gap The knowledge and ability to use one's own language to its best potential is very important in developing relationships with others. For an English teacher, lessons must be informative as well as interesting. There must be complete knowledge of old and new styles. The English department is composed of 14 teachers, 4 of whom teach other classes as well. All these teachers know and apply old and new concepts in such things as poetry,vocabualry, punctuation, and all the mechan- ics of Englishgbut they also try to use their knowledge in order to stimulate the minds and talents of students.

Left: At the bi-district game pep rally, Mrs. Lucille Deasey and Mr. George Vakey returned to show they were behind the Cowboys all the way.

Students Learn the Past Live the Present History is a way of life, not just a subject you didn't make an A in. Under this broad area is: economics, government, American and world history, world geography and Texas history. McCollum teachers, as well as teachers in general, Work long hours planning field trips, term reports, term projects, and many other special assignments designed to keep students learning and interested. In this way, students are interested in the past and what is NOW. This becomes history in itself.
