{{more citations needed|date=March 2019}}John H. Reagan High School (renamed Northeast Early College High School in 2019)^[1] is a public, co-educational secondary school in Austin, Texas. It is part of the Austin Independent School District. Reagan High School opened in 1965 and was originally named for John Henninger Reagan, a 19th-century U.S. Senator from Texas. The new name will go into effect for the 2019-2020 school year.^[1]

Athletics

For the first two decades of its existence, Austin Reagan hosted a highly successful football program. Under coaches Travis Raven, Carroll Lundin and Wally Freytag, the Reagan Raiders formed a dynasty in Texas high school football from 1967 to 1994. In 1967, 1968 and 1970 the Raiders won Texas state championships as well as being declared national champions by then-US President Richard M. Nixon in 1970. In 1986, Mike Wright was the quarterback of the football team and with his 3000 passing yards to receivers Eddie Walker and Ken Chambers the school went far in the playoffs and almost won another State Championship in 1986.{{citation needed|date=June 2015}}

The program experienced another resurgence in football from 1998 to 2003 under head coach Andrew Jackson culminating with the Raiders losing to Bay City in the 2001 state semi-final game. From 2008 through 2010, Reagan experienced a significant resurgence in sports, going to the playoffs in consecutive years in basketball, having four students finish tops in wrestling, and the track team for boys and girls performing as one of the top teams in state.{{citation needed|date=June 2015}}

School Motto

The school motto "Not Without Honor", was also the official school song, and was voiced by students and faculty at the end of a district sporting event, or at pep rallies.{{citation needed|date=December 2016}}

Music Program

Early in June, 1965, members from thirteen local and out-of-town bands, working with Reagan's first band director R.B. Hunger, formed the first AAAA Raider Band. Early hours, hard practice and determination preceded the band's first public performance as the official Austin Aqua Festival Band. Two concerts, one for the dedication of John H. Reagan High School and another for the Texas School Administrators and School Board Convention, kicked off a colorful marching season topped by a Division I Rating in the early November marching contest. Long before Christmas, band members began preparations for U.I.L. solo and ensemble contest. Their diligence paid off in fifty-six Division I ratings. Immediately, work was begun on the remaining activities: a spring concert, a school-wide assembly, concert contest, awards day and finally, graduation ceremonies. The year ended successfully with a Division I in concert and, as Mr. Hunger said, we had a band that could sight-read like no other! From pep rallies to planting the flower bed to rivalry with the RR's, the first Raider Band showed a spirit and loyalty which proved them to be truly "NOT WITHOUT HONOR". Notes by Susan Osborn ^[2]

The Reagan choir traditionally ended choir concerts, graduation and other school events by singing "The Lord Bless you and Keep you", by Peter Lutkin. This tradition began with Reagan's first choir director, Jim Sheppard. ^[3]

Archival footage of the school’s marching band, performing in a 1969 parade in honour of Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong, is seen during the closing credits of

Operation Avalanche, a 2016 film built on the premise of faking the Moon landing portion of the Apollo 11 mission.
