School Reviews
5 9/16/2009
I attended the school from 3rd grade to graduation in 2006. I was a member of the Wildcat band, choir, and drama team. All 3 of these did a great job in not only competitions but in teaching the students to be the best.
The sports programs are some of the best in the state. My 10th grade year the football team achieved an undefeated season placing them at number 1 in the state of Texas for 4A schools that lasted until the quarter finals in the state playoffs. The soccer teams, baseball, softball, volleyball, golf, basketball, track, and weight lifting programs are all great programs as well.
Gregory-Portland Highschool is less than 10 years old and was opened for use in 2002, my 9th grade year. It is a very clean school with a beautiful design that shows off school pride the moment you walk in the front door.
I am a proud alumni of Gregory-Portland and hope this may help other people become so.

As of 2014, nineteen states still allow corporal punishment – spanking and paddling the most common choices – in their public schools. However, some argue that not only are these punishments physically harmful, they also are disproportionately administered to students of color. As a result, House democrats have taken up the issue in a new bill that would ban all forms of corporal punishment nationwide.
