For 122 years, R.L. Paschal High School has served as the educational foundation of our community, where students and teachers alike have set the standard of achievement to which other schools aspire.

This year alone, Paschal has produced 61 National Merit semifinalists, Commended scholars and Minority scholars—setting a record for Tarrant County. Eighty-eight students have been recognized as Superintendent’s Scholars—more than the rest of the Fort Worth Independent School District combined. Over 1,300 students—well over half the student body—are enrolled in Pre-Advanced and Advanced-Placement classes. As a Fort Worth institution, Paschal is unrivaled in fostering exceptional students.

With the incredible academic strides made at Paschal, the modernization of the school’s infrastructure, and the revitalization of the Berry Street corridor, we feel it is time for our school to put its best paw forward, so to speak.

The successful November 2007 bond election in Fort Worth will provide much-needed improvements to the infrastructure of R.L. Paschal High School. Voters approved $11 million dollars to modernize the infrastructure of the school with items crucial to a well-rounded student: everything from upgraded athletic facilities and up-to-date science labs, to campus network improvements and interactive whiteboards.

Now we ask for your help to revamp and refresh the face of the campus. Not just a coat of fresh paint—but new seating areas, safer sidewalks and environmentally-sound landscaping. The public face of the school needs to be brought up to the standards we ask of our students, teachers and administrators inside. It is time to waken the sleeping Panther.

Your help is vital in raising funds to improve the front of the school. Driving by the school on Forest Park needs to be a source of pride again, for Panthers young and old, and for the residents of the surrounding neighborhoods.
