    This is absurd and completely false. We are thrilled with Allie McDaniel leading our volleyball program and girls athletics. She has already made a tremendous impact at PNGHS and we look forward to her working with our girls for many years to come.

     We played San Augustine in 2001 when they had a pretty decent team, and one of my best friends sealed the game with a pick late, stepping out of bounds about 3 feet from me to end it.  several seconds after he did this a San Augustine player came and suplexed him so close to me that my buddy's legs slammed into mine, almost taking me out.  I then hit the player with the closest thing I could find, which happened to be the helmet I had in my hand, and got in a fair bit of trouble (I was from then on known as "Helmet Swinger").   That said, I kinda kept up with their team after that, and also because I went to college in Marshall, not far from San Augustine.  I remember the San Augustine championship, in 2003, and how random it felt. I wonder how many teams have gone 3-5-1 one year, won a state championship the next, and then the follow that up with a 4-5 campaign.  Feels like it's probably a pretty short list.  

    San Augustine fired their coach immediately after they won state in 03

    1970 and 1989NDN touch on some important points about PN-G and what's going on in the rest of American secondary education. I think most of the posters on this site know that I've been involved in Texas policy circles for several years now, and worked for a state institution of higher education until a few months ago.

    In my dealings with the state's education policy thought leaders, it has struck me just how significantly public schools in this state have changed, generally speaking, even since I was in high school only thirteen years ago. To my mind, PN-G has solidified itself as one of the last remaining examples of the right mix of things that used to make the model public high school in America: strong academics, strong extracurricular programming, strong community support, and a strong culture centered around school pride and a continuing tradition of success. To have a strong high school, you need a healthy mix of all of that.

    Extracurricular participation is particularly important because it teaches life lessons that can't be learned from a textbook, and because it often motivates students to try harder in the classroom. PN-G has staved off - in some ways, reversed - trends I've seen across much of the rest of public education that have slowly eaten away at the strength of our education system. You can see the evidence every Friday night. Schools with substantially more students (and resources) than PN-G field sports teams, drill teams and bands a fraction of the size of their PN-G counterparts. Sure, some of those other schools might look fine on paper, but far too often, it's because administrators, curriculum developers and faculty have found ways to game the system to create appearances of success instead of doing the hard work it takes to achieve real success.

    I think PN-G's present level of extracurricular participation and success, and all of the benefits that come with it whether tangible or intangible, is a testament to what the faculty, staff and community have managed to accomplish and sustain. Many schools have a rich history that sits in backroom trophy cabinets and closeted yearbooks collecting dust while nobody notices. PN-G has refused to forget about its history, instead choosing to hold out the achievements of past students as an example to current students of what they, too, are capable of. At the high school level, that is truly remarkable. I believe the high school's present success validates the efficacy of the approach.

    One day, some of us alumni are going to have to have a conversation about what we can do to more tangibly contribute to the continuation of those traditions, but that's a conversation for a future date when I have more time and energy to spare.

    But now back to Nederland....

    Maybe something is being looked at for part of this continuation. Ill fill you in after turnaround. You are one of the people who, if interested, could take part in it. Working with a mutual friend and two long time PN-G historians. Looking at some ideas. Also working with a great man from PA to help develop something for the great history of Port Arthur. A few other ideas being kicked around. Little to early in the process to get to deep in discussion.
