So You Think You Know Fort Worth? Buckle Up for a History Lesson (with Laughs!)
Ever find yourself strolling down the street, humming the school fight song you haven't thought of in decades? Maybe you weren't exactly humming, more like muttering under your breath because you can't quite remember the mascot or the colors. Well, fear not, history buff (or someone desperately trying to avoid small talk at a PTA meeting)! Today we're diving deep into the world of Fort Worth's high schools, specifically the granddaddy of them all, the institution that's seen it all, from buggy rides to fidget spinners (one can only hope those are a fad).

The Champion: R.L. Paschal High School
That's right, folks, we're talking about R.L. Paschal High School, also known as Paschal to those in the know (and anyone who graduated there in the last century). This school's got history oozing out of its metaphorical (and possibly literal, schools are messy places) walls. We're talking about a school that's been around since the 1880s, when folks were still riding horses to the general store (probably not, but you get the picture).
Fun Fact: The original Fort Worth High School (which eventually morphed into Paschal) actually burned down in 1910. Guess someone forgot fire safety day! Don't worry, no students were hurt, but it goes to show, even the coolest schools can have growing pains (literally, if you count that fire).
Why Should You Care About This Ancient Relic of Education?
Well, besides the obvious bragging rights you get from knowing the most trivia in Fort Worth (which is basically a superpower in this town), Paschal's a pretty cool place. It's the largest high school in the Fort Worth Independent School District, which means it's a melting pot of cultures, activities, and probably some epic dodgeball throwdowns in the gym (figuratively, one hopes).
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.
Plus: Think about all the famous (or infamous) Fort Worthians who might have walked those very halls! Maybe there's a future astronaut, rockstar, or even a gasp politician roaming the halls right now!
