Donning a pair of dark sunglasses, Austin ISD board trustee Jayme Mathias gathered with Eastside Memorial High School supporters on the campus at a rally and news conference May 7.

“The future of Eastside Memorial High School is so bright, we've gotta wear shades,” Mathias told attendees, explaining that that is the message he wants community members to take away from the result of community input and collaboration with the district to find a partnering entity to lead improvement at the school.

A group of advocates remains hopeful that the new partnership will revive Eastside Memorial High School.

Last night, the Austin School Board picked Johns Hopkins University to help run Eastside Memorial High School.

Although the partnership is not yet official, the new proposal alleviated some community members’ concerns over the school’s uncertain future.

Mr. Fitz is terrific. OK, full disclosure. David Finkle is an old friend and grew up in Round Lake. Now he is an English teacher in Florida. I bet most of us can identify with his strips.
