A WORD FROM THE
HPISD SUPERINTENDENT
Celebrating the Scot spirit
that continues for a lifetime
Once a Scot, always a Scot! Those
are words you can count on.
Dr. Dawson Orr
HPISD Superintendent
In fact, many Highland Park High School graduates regardless of age - proudly trace their school lineage
back to their elementary years, and they still spar with
their friends about which mascot was the mightiest.
Of course, as they grow, the young Eagles, Broncos,
Huskies and Panthers are united Raiders, and then
Scots. And Scots they steadfastly remain.
The deep-rooted loyalty and lifelong friendships that
HPHS graduates share is a treasure that is a rarity in
today’s world. When I tell my fellow superintendents
about the enthusiastically high attendance at our high
school reunions, they can’t believe their ears. And when
I tell them about how more than 700 Golden Scots who
graduated 50 or more years ago pack the cafeteria for
a lunch celebration every year, they usually ask me to
repeat myself.
“You mean they fly in from all over the country - and
even the world - to see their high school classmates?”
they ask in wonder.
“You have to see it to believe it,” I tell them.
This Scot spirit is evidence of this community’s
underlying support for our schools and how it values
a top-quality education for its young people. And it is
something this district and its educators never take for
granted. It is a privilege to work in a learning community
where the parents send their children to school ready
to learn. I trace this parental partnership to the days
even before our kindergartners first arrive for school.
Their learning is not just beginning. It is continuing
following years of the best early childhood education a
child could receive, at the hands of loving and dedicated
parents who read to them and expose them to enriching
social and cultural experiences.
Those parents go on to volunteer in the schools, cheer
on their children at extracurricular performances and
competitions, and work with our teachers to ensure
that they are receiving the best possible preparation
for the world after graduation.

One of the greatest blessings for our teachers is when
our graduates keep in touch. Just take it from Jay
Harris, a HPHS 1978 graduate who can tell the story of
our school system from more than several perspectives.
Jay teaches classes in business, personal law and
criminal justice. He also serves as a sports medicine
athletic trainer. He is this year’s secondary teacher of
the year, and he believes in teaching students about
more than what is in today’s lesson plan. He enjoys
teaching them about life and helping them discover
resilience and independence.
“Every year I receive emails and letters from former
students expressing their gratitude because they have
experienced some sort of failure that caused them to
grow,” he writes. “That is very satisfying for me as a
teacher, and I am thankful every day of my life to have
the opportunity to impact students’ lives.”
Jay also describes two teachers who made a difference
in his life: HPHS teacher Linda Raya and HPMS physical
education teacher Kellis White.
“Linda Raya teaches in a style that is all her own,
and I have never experienced anything like it in all of
my education,” he writes. “Her compassion, love and
encouragement of her students’ success have been a
powerful driving force in my career.”
About his other mentor, he writes about the lesson he
learned as he struggled to complete the mile run: “Coach
White helped me discover the power of determination
and persistence, and that gave me the desire to pass
the same lesson along to young people, helping them
realize that it is all right to fail. Failure makes you a
better person.”
Indeed, these powerful life lessons are not on the
syllabus, but they are an essential part of the studentteacher relationship.
As we prepare for the new school year, cherishing the
old memories and creating new ones, we want you, as
HPHS alumni, HPISD families and friends, to know how
much we appreciate every one of you. You have laid
the foundation upon which this great school system is
built. And it’s much more than bricks and mortar. It’s
the Scot spirit that lives on.
Dr. Dawson Orr is the superintendent of the Highland
Park Independent School District.
He is beginning his 36th year as an educator and his
fifth school year as HPISD superintendent.

SENIORS 2012
Senior Wall
The tradition of the senior wall began in the mid-1990s as a way for seniors to leave their mark on Highland Park High School. Initially,
each student made an outline of his or her hand and signed his name. Soon, the students were adding the name of the college or university
they would be attending. Each year the wall is painted over to prepare for the next class. On the first Saturday in January, seniors go to
the high school in groups to paint their squares as an expression of their personalities. The basic squares are limited in color to Highland
Park blue, gold or white. This year's senior class joined together to purchase a special square to remember classmate, Lucas Cole, who
passed away in 2007.

Mary Claire Doggett Becker says that her
wild and exciting year included visiting the
Fall Writer’s Festival at Ghost Ranch in New
Mexico. She traveled with her brother, Jack,
to Grand Canyon and then on to Bryce Canyon. She has a cottage industry called “Catnappers.” It’s not for cats, but for lessening stress to
humans. She is a quilter and a Master Gardener.

Jaeger Ingraham and her daughter, Stephanie
Hollowell, were on the Queen Mary 2 on July

the world in the harbor for the celebration. If
anyone watched channel 13 (KERA) that
night for the Boston Pops performance and the
fireworks, they were waving to you from the
ship! • Perry McPherson is still practicing
law in Port Arthur and states that classmates are
not “older,” just more mature. • Allen Pierce
says he is about half-retired and no longer owns
a large architectural firm but still designs two
or three residences each year. “However I did
act as Design Team Manager for the design and
construction of the new Terminal D at DFW
Airport. That was exciting. In 2003 we bought
a ranch near Whitesboro about 70 miles north
of Dallas and love living in the country - should
have done that earlier. We have cattle, horses,
dogs, cats and chickens. Instead of a Lexus, I
drive a tractor. Have four grown children, many
grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We are
lucky to be getting older.” 6 | SCOT TIMES | fall 2012

Retired Teachers Luncheon
by Donna Pierce
FAREWELL TO
COACH GIBBINS
by Jae Ellis ’90
HPISD Retired Teachers/Former Employees Luncheon was held on April
28th in the HPHS cafeteria. The luncheon was catered by Preston
Hollow Presbyterian Church. The program consisted of each attendee
updating their life as retirees. The broad spectrum of not-so-retired
activities was of interest to all! Door prize from Casey Fisher was the
famous Katy cake from Tyler, Texas, and won by Dr. Rodney Pirtle and
his wife. Many stayed afterwards for a special presentation in the new
updated HPISD Pierce Planetarium by director, Donna Pierce.
Celebrating Don Brown Sr. ’43
The Alumni Association’s most recent and inspiring gift was
given by Louise Brown Kee ‘74 and Don Brown, Jr. ’76. Their
father, Don Brown, Sr. ’43, had a collection of memorable
items from his years at HPHS that was just gathering dust.
So Louise and Don, Jr. assembled the items and made a
wonderful shadowbox to display them. The shadowbox
includes his letter sweater, H Awards and other items that
touched Don’s life at HP. We are so grateful to have this
beautiful framed collection to share. With the 100 Year
Celebration just around the corner it is a wonderful addition
to our archives.
On July 1 in the high school cafetorium, a team of Highland Park High School
coaches, teachers, and former athletes, led by Class of 1978 graduate and
current HPHS Athletic Trainer, Coach Jay Harris, hosted a retirement party
for retiring HPHS Athletic Trainer, Coach Doug Gibbins.
Approximately 500 of Coach Gibbins’s family, friends, fellow coaches,
and athletes gathered to celebrate his 38 years of service as the Head
Athletic Trainer for the Highland Park Scots. J.J. Gomez, the President of
PlainsCapital Bank (and the son-in-law of former HPISD Superintendent,
Winston Power) sponsored the event by grilling hot dogs and sausage links
for approximately 500 attendees. Meredith Miles Neill, the VP for Business
Development at Republic Title of Texas also sponsored the event and
provided much needed bottled water for the attendees. Coach Gibbins’s
daughter and granddaughter provided cookies for the crowd.
Among the speakers honoring Coach
Gibbins were Town of Highland Park
Mayor, Joel Williams, HPHS Athletic
Directors Randy Allen and Jerry
Sutterfield, HPHS Athletic Trainer,
Jay Harris, and various members
of Coach Gibbins’s family including
his son-in-law, his daughter, and
his son. Coach Gibbins’s children
shared stories about growing up as
Scots fans while living and attending rival schools in Mesquite. Among the
heart-warming and memorable stories told were Coach Gibbins’s daughter’s
memory of the HP Football team’s victory over North Mesquite in the mid
1980’s when, walking off of the field, HP quarterback, John Stollenwerck,
sought her out and told her “that [victory] was for you,” and Coach Gibbins’s
son, Greg’s, memory of playing football against Highland Park when he
attended Poteet High School. Greg told of receiving a bone-crushing hit
from HP defensive back Drew Harris (Class of 1996 and current HP Alumni
Association Board Member) when trying to catch a pass over the middle.
Then Greg laughed and asked if Drew Harris was in the audience. Immediately
to Greg’s left near the front, Drew
smiled and waved at Greg. Greg
explained how he wandered over to
the HP sideline after that hit, and
it wasn’t until after saying hello to
a few of the HP coaches (who he
had known for his entire life) that
somebody pointed out that he was
on the wrong sideline.
Coach Gibbins will be missed on the
sidelines of HPHS sporting events, but, no doubt, his friends will be able to
find him sitting in the stands of Highlander Stadium on Friday nights this fall.
