John H. Reagan has a noble motto: "Not Without Honor."
They should change it to Not With A Relevant Education — unless of course you mean the kind of education that is relevant to living in PRISON because that has always been what they taught the best here.
This place sort of looks like a prison too. With narrow vertical slits for "windows" and thick, ugly-looking walls. Just ugly. Period.
Johnson High School which was recently shut down for chronic academic failure and re-purposed (which means they changed the name and shuffled a few sleight of hand tricks but it is still in the same rotten neighborhood) appears to have been designed by the same sorry architect. This guy was really in to building prisons because that is exactly what this place looks like! And this "abandon hope all you who enter here" atmosphere is contagious, to the students who are psychologically and emotionally beat down, teachers who burn out and staff who always have to watch their back.
