Pasadena High and Sam Rayburn football teams bring their long-time rivalry to the field at 7 p.m. on Nov. 9, but they will put school differences aside during halftime as veterans are honored with a special halftime presentation by bands, drill teams, and the junior ROTC programs. Veterans are invited to attend this game and will be presented lapel pins to wear as a thank you from the students and staff for the sacrifices and contributions they have made for our country’s freedom.  

“Our students and staff want to recognize this group of people who have given so significantly of themselves. By publicly honoring veterans we are all reminded of their contributions and our responsibility as citizens to maintain the freedoms they have provided,” explained Principals Chris Bolyard and Robert Stock of Pasadena High and Sam Rayburn High respectively. “Our directors and performance groups work together closely to make this joint project successful.”
