XLR8 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Wow, my first exposure to the high quality education of HISD was in 1975 at Walnut Bend in 3rd grade.I got rezoned to Jewel Askew the next year where (I don't know how) I was suddenly very popular with my classmates. This was followed by my shocking and miserable popularity downfall status to nobody when my family moved to Missouri (misery) City.So much for my superstar lifestyle status I was living in 4th grade back in the 70's. I now hang out with the likes of 70's superstars like Leaf Garret.Thus that is my sad current life.Te he. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are already working the foundation and are suppose to be open by Fall semester of 2007. 18 months from start to finish. We will see?A new school was built out Briar Forest and Eldgridge area. The Walnut Bend Students are attending that school (Ray Dailey) until the new campus is opened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
