The 7 Best-Looking High Schools in Houston

I graduated in '73 from SFA and still proud to say I am a mustang!  I was part of the old drill team The Scottish Brigade and will always have fond memories of that.  Glad to see it took #1 although I felt all the other schools shown were beautiful as well!

Hey, thanks for showing up and commenting twice! (Slow day on the trash route?)

 Ironic that you're getting bitchy about Yates' academic record, considering you completely missed the fact that this is a list about the appearance of buildings, not quality of schools.

 That was unnecessary. My mother graduated from Yates in the 70's and she is a nurse who is well respected in her field and also has a beautiful home in Sugar Land. Get your facts straight before you assume anything.

Craigley, did his high school sweetheart live on Roe Drive near Gulfgate?  I had heard about this but would like to know for sure.  Cannot remember her name.

Ahh, sweet Lana, remember her from calsses.

Disadvantaged by choice maybe... disadvantaged in that your family doesn't value education and you'd rather play thug than student... disadvantaged in that it's easier to take advantage of society than to be responsible for oneself... disadvantaged in that if mom and dad aren't together or aren't legally married then "we're poor, barely above the poverty line", needy of free breakfasts and lunches, despite the "screen tv", two cars, fancy rims and stereos, and weekend parties...

We used to eat lunch on the front lawn, too, until they wouldn't let us anymore because of all the West U/River Oaks brats who were obviously waiting on their maids to clean up after them left their trash everywhere. 

In the early fifties, my boyfriend and later husband and I were eating lunch under a tree on the front lawn of Lamar. He was smoking when the assistant principal appeared, so he just put the cigarette under my skirt, which billowed out and was long. If caught smoking, he would have been expelled. It is nice to see that the Lamar, Reagan and Milby High School structures look pretty much the way they did. I think Lamar was built in the early thirties, so it must say something about construction back then.

Nostalgia for the days of segregation....

Wait, what? I thought mandatory busing was a '70s controversy. When exactly did you attend?

When I was there in the late '80s, we continued to have lunch in the front lawn. And the buses were bright kids who had been selected to participate in the Business Administration Magnet program.

You seem very confused. Perhaps your current meds are causing you to conflate your various racist fantasies.
