We are well aware of the rivalry between the Longhorns and Aggies. Can a Longhorn fan flash the "Hook 'em Horns" sign, take a pic at the Aggie Memorial dedicated to military veterans, and put that pic on social media?  Not without causing a huge stir.

Summer isn't all about lounging by the pool, sleeping late, and playing video games. For some Lufkin students it's about keeping minds sharp and hitting physics camp, and it continues today. These teens are smart!

Spring Break travelers from Texas have an advantage being so close to Mexico -- it's not far away. Mexico is the most popular destination to hit for a student vacation, but it doesn't come without a little risk.  Will there be a travel warning this year?
