Jack Yates Magnet

Our Gifted and Talented students presented their semester projects at our 1st GT Expo on Friday. These scholars have worked long and hard all semester to prepare for their presentations and did a wonderful job! 🏆

Our Magnet teachers out for a recruiting event this morning.

First pep rally of the year as our football tram takes on Madison, 7pm at Butler Stadium and our Varsity Girl's Volleyball takes on Wheatley, 6pm st Barnett Stadium. Kicking the year off as only Lion's do!

Congratulations to the C/O 2023 Roland Martin Scholarship recipients!

I (Dana Jackson), had the honor of escorting our Jack Yates HS film students to Austin, TX for the State UIL Young Film Makers Competition at UT today. We had 2 films to win awards. We won 3rd place in 4A Documentary Film for, "The Foreman Legacy" and we won the Nobelity Social Impact Award for the film, "Twin Tragedy". Both were greats films and the kids worked so hard on them. I'm so proud of our SOC students! The guy in the picture holding the plaque is none other than George Foreman V, former World History teacher at Yates, son of boxing great George Foreman and the subject of our film, "The Foreman Legacy".

Congratulations to the Houston Astros! World Champs!
