In this modern high tech world with all these bright minds, certainly this should not be difficult.
Those that are haters, let God remove you. Those who are helpers to prevent dis-enfranchisement of a historical icon, let God approve you! I employ the administrators at HISD to honor the request of the community, the former and present teachers and Yates Alumni. I as a former educator at Yates cannot put the words to the wonderful experience this school provided me, the friends I made there, the lives I have since seen blossom to productive citizens.
Please, do not take away a place that is well known nationally and has been for years. Do not take away a major blood line in the heart of third ward, "JUST DON'T DO IT"!!
I thank you in advance for finding all funds to employ not destroy the future of JACK YATES HIGH SCHOOL. I AND OTHERS WOULD REALLY LIKE FOR OUR GREAT GRANDCHILDREN to be able to at least go by and walk the halls of such a great institution or maybe attend school there where our forefathers and mothers were a part.

We must remember the legacy of Jack Yates of old
We have a fantabulous, marvelistic, history/herstory
An exceptional, endearing, evolving legacy
So many have walked the hallowed halls and blessed our community
Introducing Houston, Texas, USA and the world to our JY family
As one who has gone before the HISD school board several times on issues regarding the plight of Jack Yates & Third Ward education
It has been a journey filled with anger, disappointment & frustration
It seems as if there is a covert effort to destroy our children’s right to be educated, especially in our neighborhood
The board continuously does more harm to our children than that good
Yet we must continue to JOIN TOGETHER and FIGHT the powers that be
To save and protect our community
Let’s not stop at just signing the petition
Get involved to make equality in education for JY and all children to come to fruition
Go before the board, attend community meetings, volunteer the school and do all that U can do
So JY will withstand any challenges we may go thru
Don’t sit back and let others do
Live the words of our school song
….Jack Yates High, loyal WE are to U!!
