I remember when
Story by TJ Wall, Sports Editor
June 11, 2020
I remember my first day of high school. I remember coming in nervous, not really sure what to expect. I remember thinking that graduation was far in the future and that it would be a long time before I had to go to college. I remember all of these things as if they were just a few weeks ago.

Every moment

On March 13, 2020, I stepped onto the Texas High School campus for the last time as a student. I thought I would be returning a week later, after a mundane spring break.

Not the end of the story
Story by Molly Kyles, Editor in chief
May 29, 2020
Stories are everything. We tell ourselves the story of who we are, and what we want our place to be in this world. We obsess over songs and movies because their stories resonate with us.
