Orientation - July 28 for 8th Graders, July 29 for 7th Graders

Student orientation at McCullough Junior High is scheduled for July 28 for incoming 8th graders and July 29 for incoming 7th graders. Students will be able to pick up their tentative schedules, locker assignments, and tour the building. Additionally, parents/guardians can sign up for PTO membership and purchase school clothing/gear.

If school supplies were ordered through the PTO, they will be available for pick up at orientation.

The child, or the child's official parent/guardian must be present to pick up materials. Students' schedules will only be available during their time slot so that the line will move quickly for all. For purchase of materials please note that some areas will be able to accept credit cards and others cash/check. Having both payment options available will make for a smoother experience.

Orientation Lite - Monday, August 1st and Tuesday August 2nd

Students and parents who are unable to attend orientation on July 28 & 29 are welcome to pick up their schedule and walk their classes on Monday, August 1, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The building will also be open for students and parents on Tuesday, August 2, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Please enter the building on the west side near the Bock auditorium for the evening session from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Monday, 8/1. We will have a table set up to hand out maps and schedules. Administrators and counselors will be on hand to answer questions and help with directions as parents and students walk their schedule.

After August 2nd, schedules will be available at the front office during office hours from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day through August 9.

TWHS/McC Red Green 2022-23 Calendar

Both McCullough and The Woodlands High School operate on a Red and Green Calendar in which students will attend four classes on Red Day and four different classes on Green Day.

Red Day classes are numbered 1 through 4 and Green Day classes are numbered 5 through 8. This numbering system should make it easier for students to understand their schedules.

Please click on the links below to view the Red and Green Day Calendar and the Conroe ISD Calendar for the 22-23 Year.

McCullough JHS PTO News

McCullough JHS PTO

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at orientation!

First of all, we would like to thank everyone for their generous support last year. Thanks to your contributions, the McC PTO was able to provide a new audio/visual system implemented in the cafeteria. This was greatly appreciated by both the students and staff. The PTO was also able to serve our teachers and staff an appreciation lunch every month.

Orientation is just around the corner and to make things easier for you so you won't have to wait in line, we would like to offer online options!

Please consider supporting our PTO by purchasing a membership. This is our main fundraiser and a basic membership is only $25 and will get you a student directory. If you'd like to save a step at Orientation, here is the link to purchase 2022-2023 PTO Memberships.
