We couldn’t do it without you!
Happy National Substitute Professionals Day to the incredible individuals who step up, step in, and keep our classrooms thriving. 🐺❤️🖤
Our substitute teachers bring flexibility, patience, and heart into every classroom they enter. Whether it’s supporting instruction, building connections with students, or helping our campuses run smoothly, your impact is felt every single day.
Thank you for being there when we need you most and for being an essential part of Wolf Nation! 🐺❤️
🐺Our little Wolves have been busy decorating the halls so everything will be festive and ready when we return from Thanksgiving break on December 1st. 🎄🐺❤️🖤
As we head into Thanksgiving break (November 24–28), I want to take a moment to thank each of you for the hard work, dedication, and support you’ve shown to our students and to Colorado High School throughout this semester. Your commitment makes a tremendous difference, and I am truly grateful for the effort you put in every day.
Today we will follow our normal bell schedule. During lunch, we will have our potluck meal. A big thank-you to Mr. Martinez and Sammy Calbillo for preparing the meat and taking care of the grilling for our staff, your work is very much appreciated.
I also want to share that I will be finishing my time here at the end of this semester. I have some health matters that I need to take care of, and I will also be spending time at the prison teaching. This upcoming schedule will allow me the flexibility to attend necessary appointments.
The district administration will be sending more information soon regarding the leadership transition moving forward. I will be letting students know this afternoon during WolfTime Assembly so they are aware as well.
As we navigate change together, I’m reminded of the words from Isaiah 43:19: “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” A reminder that new seasons can bring renewal, strength, and opportunity.
Thank you again for everything you do and for the impact you have on our students. I appreciate all of you and wish you a restful and enjoyable Thanksgiving break.
Mr. Steve Komppa
Colorado HS Principal
Colorado ISD

They were excited, grateful, and absolutely loved it, a day we won’t forget! ❤️🙌
THANK YOU, M3 PALACE! 🎬👏
Their projects consisted of teaching lessons in history, theatre arts and child development along with the touch-a-truck career pathway. Some members made a video showcasing our CTE/P-Tech courses and others gave speeches about why they wanted to be an educator after graduation. A team wrote and illustrated a children’s book and a team put together a digital yearbook for our chapter!
Please help us congratulate those advancing! Lilly Boyd, Kymani Martinez, Destiny Miller, Sienna Pence, Jackson Redwine, Karah Shrode, Kezlye Strain and Ny’Aijah Yancey

Our Colorado City Robotics teams kicked off their season on Saturday, and they represented Wolf Nation with skill, teamwork, and true engineering grit!
Each of our three teams competed in five matches, winning three and dropping two. Because competitions use rotating alliances, our students teamed up with schools from Midland, San Angelo, and Odessa, and our robots held strong with zero breakdowns throughout the day!
Coach Sowa shared how proud he was watching our students strategize, problem-solve, collaborate, and even repair and improve their robots under pressure. That’s the heart of STEM in action! 🔧⚙️✨
Here’s where our teams stand in the West Texas League (1A–5A, private, homeschool & public schools):
🐾 C-City Cubs – Ranked #14
Team Members: Autumn Diaz, Devyn Gonzales, Kimberly Cruz, Jacklyn McCain, Carolann Walthall
🐾 Alpha Wolves – Ranked #12
Team Members: Gavin Harbour, Kale Ostrander, Addison Hinson, Noah Rivera, James Garza, Evan Vanderslice, Michael Alvarado
🐾 C-City Wolves – Ranked #8
Team Members: Jax Quiroz, Jaime Madrid, Lance Smith, Colby Wright, Angle Cortez, Les Paul Gomez
Coach Sowa said it best:
“I am very proud of the way the teams represented Colorado City by working together with every alliance partner. They took charge, strategized, fixed what needed fixing, and handled the pressure exceptionally well. Their rankings will continue to rise as the season progresses.”
Way to go, Robotics teams, you’re building more than robots… you’re building EXCELLENCE! 🔥🐺
