zero tolerance policy on
bullying
In a recent announcement, the
Peer Helpers addressed the subject of Bullying:
Bullying is pushing, shoving,
kicking or otherwise physically attacking
another person.
Bulling is purposely excluding or
ostracizing someone.
Bullying is spreading rumors or
gossiping.
Bullying is using words or
actions to intimidate someone.
Bullying is teasing another
person about his or her body, intelligence,
race, religion, or any other characteristic that
upsets the person.
Bullying is name-calling.
Bullying is making threatening
phone calls of emails.
Bullying is posting cruel
pictures or messages about someone online.
Bullying is any aggressive,
intentional behavior meant to hurt or humiliate
someone else. Bullying involves an imbalance of
power and strength.
PEARCE HIGH SCHOOL HAS A
STRICT ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY ON BULLYING.
If a student has been
victimized by a bully or finds himself in a
bullying relationship, the student has several
options available. First, the student can
talk to a teacher, vice-principal, or
counselor. Second, the student can talk to a
Peer Helper about the situation. He may even
want to make a referral for a Peer Mediation.
The student can attend TOPS which meets during
lunch periods on Wednesday, 7th period and after
school on Tuesday.
What a student never has to do
is suffer in quiet, alone and hopeless.

Tuesday's February 12th game against the Little Elm
Lobos is best summed up by - GOALFEST!! Our JV
Lady Mustangs scored 8 unanswered goals in a
cold, windy match in Denton county. Hannah
Tessaro set the tone for the evening, striking
first off a cross by Karli Porter. Next came
a shot by Sydney Robertson off a pass from
Brooke Johnston. A third goal followed just over
a minute later by Brooke Johnston from
Hannah Tessaro's pass. Molly Cain added
the fourth goal on a stunning
kick backward into the corner. A minute later
Molly scored her second goal of the evening off
a pass from Sarah Rivers. With 3:30 left in
the first half, Brooke Johnston sent a ball
straight to the waiting feet of Sydney Robertson
who delivered for her second goal of the evening.
Ending the first half with her second goal of the
evening was Brooke Johnston who took on
defenders from the midfield, blowing by them to
drive in for the score. The second half saw a
scramble of position changes as Coach DeArmond gave
players opportunities for new experiences with
keeper Rosa Medina becoming a field player.
Rosa wasted no time on the pitch and took a
pass from Paloma Garcia in for the 8th score
of the evening!
McKinney Boyd came to play on Friday evening,
fielding a physical, aggressive team. Our Lady
Mustangs were up for the challenge, matching shots,
making saves and steals, fighting to a 0-0 tie.
Outstanding defensive effort was made by Hayley
Kerr and Meagan Stewart, with midfielders
Veronica Pippard, Hannah Tessaro, Karli
Porter and Brooke Johnston keeping the ball
upfield for Pearce. Great shots were made by
Molly Cain, with a heart-stopping shot from
Sheina Tolmas that went just wide of the goal in
the final minute. Great effort by Sarah Rivers,
Kim Retzsch, Shelby Redcorn, Kaitlyn Fletcher, Becca
Solitare and Rosa Medina as our Lady Mustangs
remain undefeated!
varsity
The Lady Mustangs Varsity soccer team was back on
the winning track again when they took on the Little
Elm Lady Lobos in Little Elm on Tuesday. In
the first half, off an assist from Stephanie
Pritchett and Gayle Ziegler, Sophomore
Kathryn Watson got her toe on a perfectly placed
ball that the Little Elm keeper could not reach
which made it into the goal for the first score. In
the second half, it was an all-out Lady Mustangs
offensive. Great ball movement by Mustangs
defenders and midfielders, including Anne Stieg,
Molly Hummel and Stephanie Pritchett, kept the
ball up around the attacking third for the remainder
of the game. Sophmore Taylor Mathews scored
twice with hard strikes off assists by Kathryn
Watson and Hayley Kerr. Gayle Ziegler
also created several other scoring opportunities
with well-placed corner kicks. In the end, despite
the flurry of activity around the Little Elm goal,
it was still another Lady Mustangs win by a score of
3-0.
