Campus News Ousley Junior High will be a different school this year. While the building looks the same from the outside, the inside has undergone some exciting renovations. Some of the classrooms and offices have been renovated to accommodate the increase in the student body as a result of the consolidation of Ferguson Junior High and Ousley Junior High campuses in order to better serve our community. The consolidation to become one campus, has been the focus for both schools’ faculties for two years. The teachers and staff have attended formal trainings and have informally met for further planning. We are focused on a smooth transition for our students, parents and community. Both campuses, Ousley and Ferguson, have a long history of success in the areas of athletics, academics and fine arts. Coming together as one can only continue this lineage. Students come as former Mustangs, Eagles, Blazers, Bobcats, Firebirds and Wranglers. With a strong foundation, they enter the doors becoming Panthers. Faculty is committed to preparing them for success at the next level, be it Seguin Cougars or Bowie Volunteers. 20 Arlington School & Family - August/September We are looking forward to our new beginning, our year one as a consolidated campus. Our motto is to keep our Eyes on Excellence in all that we do, and as we begin this school year, we are committed to do just that with our students, our families and our community. † Go Panthers
