northbeaumont Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Wow! Pasadena is a lot bigger than I thought. On 5atexasfootball.com, it lists Pasadena HS, Pasadena South Houston HS, Pasadena Rayburn HS, Pasadena Memorial HS, and Pasadena Dobie HS. That's five high schools in a suburb. But then again maybe there's something I don't know. I mean, for example, Garland is a big suburb of Dallas. It might have just as many high schools as Pasadena does.

TheNiche Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 So you're saying that Pasadena ISD transcends the Houston and the South Houston city limits?Indeed it does, just as part of Deer Park ISD is within the Pasadena city limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Marty Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 This could end up turning into one of those Pasadena vs. Garland threads.I am surprised it took this long for someone to reply to the Stinkadena remark , you herd that word all the time at the intersection of Aldine Westfield & Little York because the odor would seep up Halls Bayou. early 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandpa retired from Goodyear with 25 years of service (after stints at Ethyl Corp and others in the area).Has exxon mobil closed at good year? It's been empty for about a year, The area around the plant is full of foundations, as if house were built and demolished.

Yes NB, Pasadena is big, of course, not as big as Houston, but big. http://www.ci.pasadena.tx.us/ourcity.htm The paper mill is the predominant smell that actually comes from a plant in Pasadena...all the other big smells you can thank Houston and Deer Park for. But like Midtown Coog said...smells like money to me. Thank god for folks not too proud to work and/or live in the area. Houston would be a cow town still if it were not for the towns off 225.

Apparently the stench emanating from the Karankawa sickened many European settlers.So apparently, Pasadena has ALWAYS been known for it's stench!

Did those same kind of indians live in southern California? Is that the reason why they also have a city named Pasadena? Yes, Conservatives call California "The Land of Fruit and Nuts." Maybe they also think that it smells like an armpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It now has eight high schools, and is in the process of building numbers nine and ten. Right now, Jersey Village HS is the only CyFair school that's in an incorporated area. All those with Houston addresses are not inside the Houston city limits. When it's completed, Cypress Lakes will be in Katy, geographically, but not in the Katy ISD. The lines are complicated out here. And, oh yes, all are 5-A schools.

VicMan Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Cypress Lakes is not in Katy. The city of Katy is at the junction of Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller counties and had 11,775 residents in 2000. Cypress Lakes is north-northeast of Katy.

Cy-Lakes is not located inside the city of Katy, but it still has a Katy address. I live in Copperfield, a few miles outside the Houston city limits, but I have a Houston address. Check out the boundary lines of the Katy ISD sometime. Those lines extend far outside the area we think of as Katy. Kids who live in Bear Creek, east of Hwy 6, north of Clay Rd, and south of Kieth Harrow go to a Katy ISD school.Go figure. I make no claim to any understanding of these jurisdictional ins and outs. I just know what is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
