Galt High School Board Member Sue Roberts tells a story about an encounter she had one early morning with a fellow teacher many years ago. A story, unbeknownst to her, that would have its end written just this year. Roberts, who was a GHS teacher for more than 20 years, tells of how one early foggy morning around 6 a.m., she was getting to campus early and came across a GHS science teacher lugging a bucket of water toward his lab room. Inspired by his apparent investment into what was going to be a lab with frogs or some other

A new educational era has begun in RISD. James Largent took the reigns from Tony Murray Monday as Rusk Superintendent.
“I’m real excited about being here. Everyone’s very friendly,” Largent said. “This move was an ideal situation for both me and my family and I’m eager to get started.
“We are still in the transition stage, at our jobs and our house. We are looking forward to getting to know everyone.”
Largent and his wife and two children moved from Nacogdoches recently in preparation of both his and her new jobs.
“She was a diagnostician at Douglass before we moved to Rusk and now she will be doing the same thing here, so it really worked out for us,” he said.
The Largents wanted to move to somewhere they would be all together more often, Largent said.
“I worked in at Chireno ISD and Jeri worked in Douglass and the kids were in day care all day in Nacogdoches. Now we live two miles from work so this is ideal.”
Largent also said the move put him in a larger district so professionally he also moved into a better position.
He said the most important change he made for the Chireno district was accountability improvements.
“We worked the budget and accounted for our money a little better,” he said.
He said he doesn’t have any preconceived notions about Rusk or any gung-ho plans to change everything.
“I was blessed in that I came into a district where everything runs pretty smooth. I don’t see any major problems in the near future, but I’ve only been here one day,” he laughed. “I’m still evaluating things and getting to know everyone.”
When asked if filling the shoes that have been around for 23 years makes him nervous he said, “I don’t think nervous is the word I’d use. Mr. Murray and I have become good friends and I highly respect him. I am truly honored to be following him now. This is a big change for a lot of us, but I can’t be Murray. I have to be myself.”
School starts for students Aug. 15 this year and Largent says he’s ready for whatever lies ahead.
“Hopefully it goes as smooth as it’s gone today,” he joked.
