What Students Are Saying “Teachers at the ‘new’ Will Rogers treat us like real college students and give us wonderful opportunities which not only help with our academics, but also help develop our interpersonal skills. I’m proud to say that I go to Will Rogers and highly recommend it to other students as well.” — Joshua Mathews Class of 2014 “My reason for wanting to attend Will Rogers College High school was the opportunity to be a part of a high school with advanced studies and to be a part of something new. Little did I know that Rogers would be more than just a high school with college classes and new students. We would be a family...a strong family with the power to achieve anything we set out to do.” — De’Juae Leathers Student Council President Class of 2015 “When I started my 10th grade year at the ‘new’ Will Rogers College High, I began to work so much harder because teachers pushed me and showed me they were not going to let our school fall below its great potential. I believe WRCHS is a great school and our teachers care so much about the students. I have accomplished so much academically and am looking forward to graduating as the first senior class of the ‘new’ Will Rogers College High.” — Bryson Willis Class of 2014 “Will Rogers College High has really come a long way in the last few years. The ‘new’ Rogers has improved in how the students behave and also by their test scores. In recent years you would not see Will Rogers High School named along with Booker T. Washington, but now we’re mentioned right along with them in the newspaper concerning test scores.” — Ruben Urquiza Class of 2014 “The new Will Rogers is very nice. Every student has the chance to earn college credit right on the Will Rogers High School campus. Nearly all core classes and some electives are either AP or TCC. Also we are learning school spirit!” — Tyler Terrio Class of 2014 28
