“When I reflect on our students and our community, one word always comes to mind: resiliency,” said Ben Howard, the principal of Houston Middle School and now the new Houston High School, at its Thursday ribbon-cutting.
Over four years after the November 2018 earthquake, Gov. Mike Dunleavy cut the ribbon at the new Houston High School building.
“When I reflect on our students and our community, one word always comes to mind: resiliency,” Howard said. “Our school community is resilient. In times of adversity, we stuck together and persevered — through crowded hallways, interrupted learning time, a cramped cafeteria — and so much more.” All of the 338 students inside Houston Middle in 2018 evacuated the building without injury. During the quake, students at Houston Middle helped get classmates and teachers out of the building to safety. The Mat-Su Boroughthey had produced at the start of the assembly with nationwide newscasts from that day, as well as time-lapse videos of the construction of the new building and testimony from staff.
Seniors at Houston were seventh graders when the quake hit, and provided the backdrop for the ribbon-cutting. After so many years spent together as Houston Jr./Sr. High, Howard became emotional when he spoke to students on Thursday.
