Reagan High

I've been hanging out with high schoolers every day- and its a dream come true. Really, I've been trying to get into a school like Reagan to shoot for over a year now. And this is a great one to start with; Great kids, great teachers... but Reagan is the next Johnston, meaning that if they don't bring their TAKS scores up, this is their last year. I hope to spend the rest of the semester covering all sorts of goings-on at the school, and hopefully getting to the bottom of the issue, if there is one. Here's the beginning.

The Reagan High Football team, otherwise known as the Raiders, plays Crockett this weekend during the finale to the homecoming week extravaganza. Reagan has to win this game to have a chance at going to state. Both teams are number one in their districts.






And a few days in the life of a high school student:

i checked out the 85/1.2 from ray and he practically had to pry it out of my hands when it was time to give it back.
