I was only at Odessa High School for my Junior and Senior years. I was attending Ector High School when the district decided to close down the school and split the boundary lines of the city to determine where kids would attend school. I fell on the west side of the boundary and had to attend school at OHS. The majority of my friends were on the opposite side of the line and had to attend school at PHS. So these two years were very lonely for me at such a crucial time to separate myself from my closest friends. But I can say that the students who were currently attending OHS did make the best to invite us in to their school.
I got married a year after high school to my high school sweetheart that also graduated from OHS in 1984. We had our two boys but unfortunately our marriage did not last and we parted ways only six years into our marriage.
I work for El Paso County in El Paso, Texas. I am the grant writer for the County. I basically look for monies for different programs; mostly for drug rehabiliation, within the County.
I attended Rusk Elementary; which by the way has been demolished. I attended Jr. High at Blacksear. Both of these schools are on the southside of Odessa. And if i remember correctly, Blacksheer has been renamed?
