Jim Searles, founder of Feed-A-Hero, understands the very limited options available for food on Christmas day as a former first responder himself. Searles points out, “It’s not a fun day to work.

It’s not that great on a regular day… let alone Christmas!” So in 2014 the Searles family decided to take dinner to a fire station in Denton and invited the police to stop by and grab some food there as wel

Your Cross Country Chaps competed yesterday with our season opener at Camp Copass in Denton. The non-traditional 3-mile course, complete with a mud pit obstacle, proved to be a great way to kick off the 2017 competitive season. Our Varsity boys fought hard to the finish for 4th place out of 22 teams and we had 2 individual medals as well. Senior Zach Brookmole finished in 15th place and Junior Joaquin Monroy finished in an impressive 4th place even after losing one of his shoes on the first mile. All of our athletes ran well yesterday and it’s going to be a great season for Aubrey Chaps

America is facing a critical need for more leaders – true leaders – prepared with the skills to deal with the problems of today and the challenges of tomorrow. We all know a true leader when we see one. They lead by example, work well with others, endure through challenges, and stick to a job until it gets done. However, many of America’s youth are not prepared with the skills they need to lead in the most fundamental areas of their lives today and their careers tomorrow. It is a serious problem now that will lead to a severe leadership void in the years to come, impacting communities ac
