WISD releases rezoning map for Castleschouldt Elementary
SHSU’s College of Osteopathic Medicine celebrates Match Day
1
On March 20, student doctors at Sam Houston State University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine celebrated Match Day and learned where they would go for their residencies. Student doctors interview with residency programs across the country, and submit a ranked list of the residency programs where they’d like to train, COM Dean Thomas Mohr said. The residency programs also rank the students they’ve interviewed, and after the preferences are processed, student doctors are paired with residency programs. According to a March 20 news release, COM’s residency placement rate exceeded 99%; almost 66% of student doctors will remain in Texas for their residencies; a little over 51% of student doctors matched into primary care specialties such as family medicine, internal medicine and pediatrics; and 26% of student doctors matched into emergency medicine. 1 On March 20, student doctors at the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Sam Houston State University learned where they would be going for their residencies. 2 College of Osteopathic Medicine Dean Thomas Mohr addresses students during the March 20 ceremony. 3 After learning where they were matched, student doctors celebrated with friends and family.
The Willis ISD board of trustees approved attendance boundaries for the new Ruth Castle- schouldt Elementary School at 8150 MP Clark Road in Conroe at its Feb. 11 meeting. How we got here The school is part of the WISD’s $143 million 2022 bond and is set to open in August to serve kindergarten through fifth grade, as previously reported by Community Impact . Chastity Simon, the associate principal and dean of instruction at Brabham Middle School, was named as the first principal of Ruth Castle- schouldt Elementary School, per prior reporting. More details WISD Chief Operations Officer Bob Eaton told the board at its Feb. 11 meeting that the rezoning is to not only populate the school but to “read- just transportation routes for increased efficiency and realign feeder patterns and roads.”

“What this is focused on and working with transportation with their buses and routes, we’re looking at breaking it up from major intersec- tions and roads like [FM] 1097,” Eaton said at the Feb. 11 meeting
