CANUTILLO | A Premier District

The Texas Education Agency over the spring break announced that it would take over the Houston Independent School District and replace both its superintendent and board of trustees with an appointed Board of Managers. The main reason given for this action is chronic student underperformance at one inner-city high school. This most-radical of actions by the TEA is worrisome because it usurps local governance and oversteps state authority in the state’s largest school district.

I hope you had a great spring break and that you’re rested and ready to take on the rest of the school year. I know many important things are happening in the next couple of months, so let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work!

With prom season vastly approaching, high school students everywhere are in search of that perfect dress or tux to make a statement on their big night without breaking the bank. The Northwest Early College High School (NWECHS) Class of 2024 officers had an idea to help make the prom memorable and affordable for their peers who may not be able to splurge on expensive attire this year.
