John H. Reagan High School is a public, co-educational secondary school in Austin, Texas. It is part of the Austin Independent School District. Reagan High School opened in 1965 and is named for John Henninger Reagan, a 19th century U.S. Senator from Texas.

Athletics

For the first two decades of its existence, Austin Reagan hosted a highly successful football program. Under coaches Travis Raven, Carroll Lundin and Wally Freytag, the Reagan Raiders formed a dynasty in Texas high school football from 1967 to 1994. In 1967, 1968 and 1970 the Raiders won Texas state championships as well as being declared national champions by then-US President Richard M. Nixon in 1970. Since the mid-80's, however, the downturn in the economic levels of the neighborhoods that feed students into Reagan has resulted in a drop in athletic performance records in all sports.[citation needed] The program experienced a resurgence in football from 1998 to 2003 under head coach Andrew Jackson culiminating with the Raiders losing to Bay City in the 2001 state semi-final game.

School Motto

The school motto "Not Without Honor", was also the official school song, and was voiced by students and faculty at the end of a district sporting event, or at pep rallies,

Not Without Honor

Not without honor
We shall always be
True to our colors
Symbols of our unity
Spirit and victory
Bonds which strongly tie
Our hearts and minds together
Live with Honor
Reagan High!

Choir Song

The Reagan choir also had their own song sung at the conclusion of choir concerts, graduation and other school events.

The Lord Bless You and Keep You

The Lord bless you and keep you
The Lord lift His countenance upon you,
And give you peace, and give you peace;
The Lord make His face to shine upon you,
And be gracious, and be gracious;
The Lord be gracious, gracious unto you.
