Exciting News! The Education Service Center, Region 2, has announced the 2024 Superintendent of the Year! Congratulations to Dr. Michelle Cavazos of Gregory-Portland ISD. Dr. Esperanza Zendejas presented this award, commending Dr. Cavazos’s outstanding leadership. Everyone needs to realize that the Supt has hundreds of GP employees and thousands of students that all under her tutelage. She’s has to represent everyone and not just a few groups. It’s an impossible task to please every single person at GP. It is a honor to have as our Supt Dr Cavasos.

Warcat82, gpjohn is for the status quo. He has a fixed mindset and innovation is not his thing. DR. Michelle Cleverley Cavazos has the courage to put together the new school and did gpjohn go check it out? Randall Edward Cavazos her second husband was born in Nueces county and his family is from this area and may be a reason she is staying here. My great grand son toured the school and loved it and did not want to leave. Dr. Cavazos has three children from her first marriage and one died in a auto accident and one is in college in NY. Randall Edward Cavazos has four children by his first marriage and they have had experience raising children. I have a copy of her 171 thesis and she has incredible experience. She has taught school at every level and been HS principal at every level. This is not her first rodeo. Heck gpjohn thinks Coach George Harris should still be coaching at GP. I have to inject humor and I like gpjohn and think he was a great father and a nice guy. I have a few differences with my Sunday school teacher whom i will se in the morning. Let me qualify the communist issue, Super Travis Fanning statement to KRIS "I love reading things by Benjamin Banneker, I love Martin Luther King and everything he has done and how his legacy still lives on. Barack Obama who is my personal hero and I hope to meet one day,” Fanning said. “They are people I look up to who are trail blazers and do it for the betterment of people". I have no problem with Martin Luther King and I wish he had not been assonated. My problem is his hero Barak Obama. Little Barry was sent by his communist mother who was separated his communist father to grandma in Hawaii to be mentored by Commie Frank Marshall Davis. In his memoir, Barack Obama omits the full name of his mentor, simply calling him "Frank." Now, the truth is out: Never has a figure as deeply troubling and controversial as Frank Marshall Davis had such an impact on the development of an American president. Although other radical influences on Obama—from Jeremiah Wright to Bill Ayers—have been scrutinized, the public knows little about Davis, a card-carrying member of the Communist Party USA, cited by the Associated Press as an "important influence" on Obama, one whom he "looked to" not merely for "advice on living" but as a "father" figure. While the Left has willingly dismissed Davis (with good reason), here are the indisputable, eye-opening facts: Frank Marshall Davis was a pro-Soviet, pro-Red China communist. His Communist Party USA card number, revealed in FBI files, was CP number 47544. He was a prototype of the loyal Soviet patriot, so radical that the FBI placed him on the federal government's Security Index. In the early 1950s, Davis opposed U.S. attempts to slow Stalin and Mao. He favored Red Army takeovers of Central and Eastern Europe, and communist control in Korea and Vietnam. Dutifully serving the cause, he edited and wrote for communist newspapers in both Chicago and Honolulu, courting contributors who were Soviet agents. In the 1970s, amid this dangerous political theater, Frank Marshall Davis came into Barack Obama's life. Then there is Van Jones hired by Barak Obama for czar and now he works for CNN a Marxist News. Will this influence Super Travis Fanning on education at Beeville? I think GP has a GEM for a Super and I am behind her 100% Will your fine Superintendent have the courage to change Admirals after this season if the team underperforms? Jimmy the Geek, there will be no reason for the Supt to even consider replacing Davis. We have stated numerous times that the current freshmen and JV teams are the most talented groups to go through GP in years. I fully expect the offense to be very good and the defense will good. We’ve got two more coaches coming in to replace coaches who took HC jobs recently.

She’s about to lead our district to the poorhouse. The front office is loaded with too many assistant supers in charge of whatever. But y’all keep drinking the kool aid.

gpjohn thought Coach George Harris was a great coach. That should tell you something. gpjohn is ok. we have different opinions. I have a growth mindset. Super Michelle Cavazos has a growth mindset. gpjohn has a fixed mindset. I am not sure what it takes to be a classified a great coach. In one of my thank you notes from Coach Randy Allen, he said it was a honor for him to be mentioned in the same sentence as Coach Phil Dannerher. There have been several coaches break Coach Gordon Wood record. There have been several baseball players break Babe Ruth record. were they as good as Babe Ruth? Is your great coach as great as Coach Rusty Russell who coached the Mighty Mites from Masonic Home. You had to be a son of a deceased Mason to be on that team. Coach Rusty Russell was lured away to Plano as there coaches were drafted in WWII. He coached Plano and helped out coaching the Masonic Home players part time on weekends. It helped that they lived in the Home. His Plano team was 10-1 that year. His Masonic Home team made the playoffs and he nearly had both teams playing each other in the play Offs. It also helped that he had Doak Walker and Bobby Layne at that time. Is your great coach as great as Coach Rusty Russell? I was a small tow head kid at that time and my dad cut my blonde hair. I had no idea where Plano was or any other teams the only ones I saw were played in the Canyon in Wichita Falls. We was PO like Heavy Weight Champion George Foreman described his family as PO as they could not afford the other syllable.

They had it in writing before they voted on it. It did not increase gpjohn’s taxes. Does GPJohn think the indoor practice field cost to much. My Lille 4 year old great grandson toured it open house day and loved it and did not want to leave. He will attend it next year and his little brother who is a couple of months old will follow him. Too late for their big sister as she will be in 9th grade next year. She hit 4 home runs the other day in two games and one went over the fence.God willing, I will see the results to compare with the two that went through the Child development school and those that did not. I have two great grandsons coming up through Middle school. There are a few more that think I am their grandpaw. I treat all kids like they are my own. “Some people can’t see the forest for the trees” “Some people have tunnel vision”. If you’re going to improve education at GP, you can’t keep doing the same thing DR. Paul Clore did.

That's well proven.

FBfan, you are correct. Money does not buy education. Leadership and teamwork becomes important. Dr. Cavazos family is from Iowa and they were educators. Her grandfather who passed away several years ago was an educater and her mentor. She has a son from her first marriage going to college in New York. She had a daughter going to college on a basketball scholarship that was killed in a car accident. Her husband Randall Cavazos has two children from his first marriage. They know what it is like to raise a family. I talked to her 4 or 5 times during the tour. She has a good personality and answers any questions people had. She was there all day. as for GPJohn complaint Dr. Cavaszos is replacing administrators that is retiring. My oldest daughter is kin to one who is a GP retread. FBfan yes it takes more than money. Will this new Child development school. Give kids the desire to learn. Part of the cost was tearing down the old T.M. Clark elementary school that needed tearing down. They used one end of it for Administrative office at one time.

(Unless you are a Biden Democrat) sure my taxes didn’t increase. They just kicked the can down the road. Sooner or later it has to be paid back

I cain’t find it now but it was about a year ago GPISD had 60 or 70 million that they had that if it was unspent they lost it. There was deals when the EXXON /Arabian plant was going to be built, they kicked in 200 million to school taxes. It is hard to keep up with the millions of dollars coming in from new hotels and other business being built in Portland. Target and Canes chicken and the new Texan Station that will sell gasoline and the store will be something like Buckees. If you go back toward the NW corner of Portland you will see large home building area. I suspect GPJohn will not pay one thin dime toward the investment in education.

Everyone loves a tax they think they are not paying. Here’s an idea GP John. Lead an effort to name all current and future projects after George Harris and WFcoyote will come out and against them and will join your side. But seriously the GP situation is a good one to be in money wise absent bonds. But they better not hope they’ve done what some lotto winners have done and ended up back where they started or worse because of the new found wealth. They might be more of your concern I’m thinking.

I can check with my son in law to see if he has a increase in what he pays in school taxes.

Coach George Harris name keeps cropping up and let me help you understand something. It is not unusual for a boss or owner of a company to hire employees in their own image. Coach George Harris did not play football in HS. He ran track over at Texas A&I. He hired a lot of coaches that graduated over at Corpus Christi University who were Kinesiology majors. No they did not play football. He hired other coaches who did not play college ball such as Coach Jay Seibert. In fact it would be hard to find a coach on Coach George Harris staff that did play college ball. Coach Vince Lombardi did not play college ball. He was considered a great coach even though he had some other issues that you would not want in your coach. Coach Robert Montgomery Knight had the same issues. I saw him slap a player up beside the head in a game one time. "Never touch a player in anger " Coach Gordon Wood. Coach Gordon Wood had a rule on touching a player in anger and you would be fired. You may not get to gain experience that you would get playing under a Coach Like Lou Holtz but I think it would help to play college ball. My father was a great Boxing coach and he did not make it passed the 9th grade.
