2015 Poet Laureate of Texas visiting Paschal! Paschal is one of 20 schools chosen across the state for this great honor. "Paschal High School has been selected as a Planting Poet Trees School. While our selection committee received many applications, they felt your school stood head and shoulders above others in its desire to introduce its students to the power of poetry. It is my great pleasure to share this program with you and your students, and to leave seeds of inspiration and excitement about writing in your entire school environment. My sincere hope is that planting these small seeds today will grow a beautiful forest of masterful creative writers all over Texas for years to come. In addition to a set of books being donated to your library, I will also personally visit your campus to give a motivational speech/poetry reading and a creative writing workshop."
