when is the next early dismissal? Reply: Jan 24, 2007
Roses alumni here! What is going on with the Roses web page. What happened to all the links and photos. I graduated in 2000 and it seems that the web design left when our class left. Help the site. I would like to see how the team looks, accomplishments, officers, and what is in store for the year? thanks- Sarah Prewitt, Captain 2000. Reply: I have repeatedly requested information to post and get nothing, sorry. The Web Master

There are no pictures of the sports teams, are any pics on the campus y'all should have more of that. Reply: I can only post whet I get. Send me some.
I think that it is so cool that you all get to attend the school that Patrick Swayze graduated from. Do any of you know if he has actually attended any of his reunions? Reply: I do not know if he has attended any reunions. He did visit the campus the summer of 05.
you need to put more pictures on it
Make a ''Goth"" version of the page something like waltripgothicfreaks and then let all the ''dark'' people chat on it. Reply: This is not a chat room.
I JUST WANTED TO STOP BY AND SAY THAT Y'ALL ARE DOING A GOOD JOB WITH THIS SCHOOL YEAR!?!? I LOVE HOW THING ARE GOING WITH THE YEARBOOK!??
WHAT DATE IS PROM!?!? Reply: April 27, 2007
My name is Jeri Ann Waltrip. I am from Cleveland Heights, Ohio. My father-in-law is James Wilson Waltrip III. He was born in Sabine, Texas in 1927 & has told us for years about a high school in Houston. He is a retired teacher. This web-site is very interesting, especially reading the biography about S. P. Waltrip. I wonder if S.P. Waltrip's brother J. W. Waltrip is a relative. Again, you all have a excellent web-site. Best wishes to you all.
need more pictures
I am glad the seniors got to vote for the senior shirt, but which design won? I hope its not the silly popsicle. Where and when can I purchase it? Reply: The shirt that won is the one with 07 on the pocket and the Ram on back. You will be able to order them form the Sr officers in the cafeteria during lunch after the Christmas break.

Is it true Mark Calaway went to this school if so could I see any information held on him? Reply: Yes he did, I had him in my metal shop class when he was here. See trivia link on this site: http://hs.houstonisd.org/waltriphs/TriviaFolder/trivia.htm
In response to the Patrick Swayze comment from Nov 2006, Patrick Swayze has not attended any reunions. A cardboard cutout of him did attend the 20th reunion, there was a letter sent for the 10th, and no word for either the 30th or the 35th.
JUST WANT TO SAY HELLO TO BRANDON K. CLASS OF 2008!! BEST WISHES IN EVERYTHING YOU DO-NOW AND IN THE FUTURE.
Where can I find more information about Chris Welker and Daniel Avery? Reply: There is some information on the Waltrip site. There is also some information on Chris and Daniel in the Chronicle. click on the links to see the information.

I enjoy the website, but I would like to see more information for seniors; graduation info, college info, ordering deadlines, etc. Also, I would like to see a more detailed calendar. Last year it listed the entire year including progress report and report card dates. Other than that, keep up the good work!
Will there be any pictures posted of the Mr. Waltrip Competition? It'd be great to have those pictures available if there are any. Thanks. Reply: Yes, I am waiting on a parent that contacted me to provide them.
R.I.P Chris Welker!!

Another Roses Alumni Here! Also graduate of 2000!! Ditto on the empty Roses page!!! -Jessica Cooksey, President 1997-1998 Reply: You might email Ms Gillis and urge her to send some info the the web master.
I like the site-keep up the good work. Can you please put pictures of the baseball team up, that would great. Also maybe a roster too.
I wish there were some pictures of the Mr. Waltrip competition. It was a really great program! It'd be cool to have a web page about it. I have some photos that I took. How can I send them to you? -Kelsey Evans destriersanddragons@yahoo.com
I don't understand this at all. Why did Ms. Curvey not acknowledge the fact that she told a student to go home and get the correct uniform and got in a car accident on the way back to school? The school gets on the p.a. system speaking of Peter Pan Peanut Butter but they don't like to discuss the things that are important. They spoke on the guys that died but why wait until its too late? This is something to think about because those were MY friends in that car and they were hurt pretty badly but did this get brought up at school?... No. Was it because they were black or was it because Ms. Curvey didn't want to take the blame. The student was new and simply didn't know the dress code. She was suppose to go to SRC but instead she had to put her life in danger. Waltrip worries too much about the unnecessary rather than the things we need. Reply: Given confidentiality issues, this student is welcome to address his/her concerns with me directly. This student clearly does not have all the facts. Mr. Siebenaler - Principal
I just saw the Mr Salinas is now here at Waltrip. I had him as a computer teacher at Black middle school. He was an awesome teacher, and made learning fun. Keep up the great job of keeping students interested in learning!! -former Waltrip student c/0 99
I am a former student-class of 99. I was just driving by the school the other day and noticed the sign that we donated in front of the school is damaged. My friend told me it has been that way for a very long time. Its sad to see that it has not been fixed. Do you know when this sign will be repaired? It reflects on the school. Thank you-concerned former student. Reply: The businesses manager has been trying to get a quote from Atlas Signs on repair. The other issue is one of money. The school does not have much in the way of discretionary funds for the balance of the year. The remaining funds will go towards basic services and payroll, with aesthetic-type projects being deferred. No promises that this will happen this school year, but we’ll at least investigate the cost. Please note that the sign was repaired as of 3/20/07
I was just reading the comments and scrolled down and noticed tons of advertising sites for drugs and sex. This is very disturbing to see such filth on a school guest book. Is there anything that can be done to block these comments?? Maybe better virus protection...Reply: There is nothing HISD can do to block it. It is not a virus, it is spammers posting their garbage anywhere they can. I try to delete it everyday.....Most HISD schools have done away with their guest book because of this problem.
Thank you for your reply to the concerns of advertisements in this guest book. I hope you guys keep up the guest book, it helps keep people informed. Reply: Thank you, I work on it almost every day.
HOW MY 07" DOIN. WE GOT THIS!!
WHY THE PRICES CAN'T BE LIKE OLD SKOOL. THATS Y I CANT GET A YEARBOOK. HELP A SISTER OUT!!!! Reply: Like everything else, yearbooks go up in cost. They are worth it though. If you do not get one, you will regret it the rest of your life.
Where will the 2007 Senior Prom be held? Reply: It will be held at the J. W. Marriott on Westheimer
you need to put more pics of Waltrip band people on the web site because other people like family members want to see the talent show. Reply: I would love to post band, talent show, sports photos, etc. If you or any other parent or student has any, please send them to me. I am unable to accompany the many different teams and groups to their events. Please note that I will only post good quality photos, cull the out the poor quality ones before sending them.
Need to get price of senior dues and prom tickets. Who should I contact? Thanks. Reply: Contact Mr Killam in room 126. You can call him at 713-688-1361 Ext 328 or email him at: KKILLAM@houstonisd.org

And I'm not sure as to what the Senior breakfast is (sounds like a breakfast for seniors but I'm not sure about the rest) please inform me please!!! The same concerned senior as the last couple of times I've written here. Reply: See Ms Mayes for Yearbook delivery date. The PTA is in charge of the Sr Breakfast. Contact the PTA President Laura V.

All you need to do is get a transfer form turned in to the school.
WOW Cool site! :-)

I am a new Art teacher in search of a job and was looking at your website, esp. your Art sights. What is the concept behind the Art cars? How do you pay for the project?

Thanks Reply: Contact the Art teacher in charge, Ms Bass, she can fill you out on the details.

How sad it is...the Class of 1997 will have no reunion...I think it reflects volumes upon a generation and a graduating class. Just another of the "expected" life happenings that will not see fruition. I blame poor scheduling and procrastination.. Regardless..to the class of '97: Ladies and Gentlemen, I wish you all the very best. H-town is a small world..if ya see me out, and recognize this mug, first round is on me. Good Luck, Semper Fidelis, And God Bless, Adam C. Moyer c/o '97 USMC 99-04 moyerac@aol.com
My name is Heather and I live in Austin with my family. We have always wanted to visit your school. Heather Waltrip
if someone would check history, they would find that Waltrip opened its doors in fall,1960...not 59..i was there...Scotty Croom '64...jac37318@houston.rr.com
This site is really cool and better than alot of other high school web sites. I was just wondering if the bell schedule is going to be the same next year. Many people much rather perferred the one the year before, with the one hour lunch and coming late on Wed. Having all 8 classes on Monday is useless because you can't get much from 45 minutes and its hard to go to every class on time, especially when you only go that way on Mondays. It's a waste to spend 40+ minutes on passing time as well. Just wanted to share that with you... and hopefully it will be changed to a schedule that will suit both, the teachers and students. Thank you.
Are they going to mail the yearbooks to the students houses??? Reply: No, you will have to pick them up.... that is if the ever come in.
Anybody else order a jacket from The Jacket Man this past year and never got it????? I paid $160 for nothing!!! And who brought in this criminal to the school to take orders??? No one seems to have any comments or suggestions on what to do. So what do I do? Reply: Check with the sponsor that placed the order. Then contact your academy principal.
I WAS WONDERING IF I WOULD BE ABLE TO PICK UP MY 2007 YEARBOOK ON OUR NEXT CLASS REUNION (10 YEARS FROM NOW) <---- BEING SARCASTIC. SAME CONCERNED SENIOR THAT'S BEEN POSTING ALL YEAR LONG. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MY IDENTITY E-MAIL ME AT ko_mex_king@yahoo.com
When will the students receive the yearbooks. Maggie. magdalenamoreno20032003@yahoo.com Reply: I checked again yesterday and they have not come in yet.
When are we getting yearbooks!! Reply: I checked again yesterday and they have not come in yet.
I was wondering, I graduated from Waltrip two years ago and misplaced my year book, is there a way we can buy another one? Reply: Yes, see Ms Mayes.
Is there a private bus service that will pick up/drop off? We live within 2 miles of the school and will not be able to use HISD bus service. My name is Gina Rodriguez and my daughter will begin attending Waltrip in August. Reply: Yes, there are some private bus companies that service Waltrip, but we cannot recommend one to you.
WALTRIP CLASS of 1992 GATHER FOR 15-YEAR REUNION ON AUGUST 4 AT SAM HOUSTON RACE PARK Waltrip High School's class of 1992 will celebrate its 15-year reunion amidst a backdrop of live horse racing and local band Blue October on August 4 at Sam Houston Race Park. Organizers said that they hope all the Waltrip classes of the early 1990s that shared the school with the 1992 seniors will attend. "It's the 15th anniversary of our graduation," said John Box, "but many of the friends we made are younger and older. So we want to reach out to everyone – from those who were seniors when we were freshmen to those who were freshmen when we were seniors." One of those younger schoolmates is Blue October band member Jeremy Furstenfeld, who graduated from Waltrip in 1993. The group plans to meet in a reserved section on the concourse of Sam Houston Race Park. Concessions and betting windows will be available. The concert featuring Blue October will begin after the last horse race. Gates open at 5 pm. General entry to the track costs $4 and the concert can be seen from the concourse. For those who wish to be closer to the music, lawn seating for the concert costs $15, reserved seating is $29. These include admission to the park. Parking costs $4. No reservation is required, but organizers ask all who plan to attend to send an RSVP to waltrip1992@gmail.com. Sam Houston Race Park is located in northwest Houston on Beltway 8 between 290 and State Highway 249. Tickets for the Verizon Wireless Concert Series are on sale at the Sam Houston box office, MusicAtThePark.com , by calling (281) 807-8760, or at the gate. Blue October, in addition to drummer Jeremy Furstenfeld, also features lead singer Justin Furstenfeld, violinist Ryan Delahoussaye, guitarist C.B. Hudson, and bassist Matt Noveskey. Their most recent album is "Foiled", released by Brando/Universal Records, and includes the nationally recognized hits "Hate Me" and "Into the Ocean."
what is the schedule going to be for 07-08 You can find the HISD Calendar on the HISD web Site.
Hello. I am a 2007 grad... Go Class of 2007! I just wanted to thank Waltrip H. S. for the 4 wonderful high school years that I lived. I especially want to thank all my teachers. I would also like to say that to Mr. Siebenaler, that he should pay more attention to teachers, in this case I am referring to Mr. McVarish. he invited you to go into his classroom and view students work and Mr. Siebenaler never set foot in the classroom. McVarish is an excellent teacher and a genius. He is awesome
Is Fish Camp Realy 9 hours long?
Good News, I just got a call and the yearbooks are in the building. I will post here and on the main page the process for picking them up just as soon as I get all the info. The Waltrip Webmaster
There isn't a summary about how each sports team did the previous year at Waltrip. Can we get some summaries going?? Reply: Contact Coach Zuccarini for that idea. azuccari@houstonisd.org
My name is D'Angelo Jetson and I need my yearbook mailed to me. I moved out of the State to Atlanta, Georgia and please don't give me the run around just please let me know if I can get my yearbook mailed to me? Reply: Contact Ms Mayes rmayes@houstonisd.org

Hi i need to located Sergeant Smith. Do you know how? Reply: Sgt Smith is at Hogg Middle school JSMITH3@houstonisd.org
I'm doing community outreach for my company's diversity & inclusion program. A group of us would be interested in volunteering time with your gay-straight alliance. Please e-mail ericjroberson@aol.com Reply: The teacher that sponsored that club left Waltrip and no one else has picked it up.
Very impressive - much better than Reagan's. My daughter is a Freshman here. One thing missing is dates of report cards and progress reports. Although high school is geared toward young responsible adults, i'd still like to be informed via school. thanks ! Rose Davila - pinknpurple42@yahoo.com Reply: All reporting dates are in the student handbook that was sent home the first week of school. They are also on the district website.
are we going to be able to wear blue jeans tomorrow September the 28th Reply: Not at this time.
Waltrip is the best
This is a great website, my name is Elaine Parnell Jackson, I graduated in 1971,my oldest daughter, Shannon Richardson graduated in 1992,my 16 year old, Shelby Jackson is in the 11th grade now and will graduate in 2009. What I want to know is, does anyone remember the "Fight Song", I would love to have a copy of the words. A lot of great people graduated from Waltrip, not just the famous ones, Oak Forest is still like a small town. Trivia, remember Ms. Gayle, our skirts could not be more than 2" above our knees, and she would actually measure if she thought our skirts were to short...Gordon Cotton was the greatest. A big thank you to all the teachers and staff, I believe overall we have great alumni and the kids that are there now (our future leaders of the country) are awesome. I think ya'll are doing a great job. Also, 1970 was the 1st year girls were allowed to wear pants, not jeans, double knit polyester pant suits..the good ole days............
Its alright... Was there a student there called Mark Calaway Reply: Hi Mark, this is your metal shop teacher, Mr. Lipham I have not heard from you in a long time.
your school is sooooo awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going there next year Cheaaa!!!
Arts Academy ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ms. Curvey isn't a mom, this explains her coldness toward students and Ms. Curvey should retire and be replaced by a warm hearted mom who understand students. Mr.. Salinas is at Waltrip because of the problems caused by ex principal Salmon. It's a shame F.M. Black had to lose such a good guy like Mr. Salinas but F. M. Black's loss is Waltrip's gain.
when are teachers gonna STOP giving us homework umm..hello we have 8 CLASSES so this is why kids are failing....
hello people ...evette melchor c/o 2002
are we gonna get blue jean Friday back its not fair to us good kids that do the right thing and we shouldn't be punish if it is a punishment Reply: When the student body follows the dress code it will return.
Hello!!! I am from the class of 2002 - still the best- and I have to say that I still really love my high school. My husband graduated from Aldine HS and although he went to state that year on the football team I still can see the difference in kids that went to a good HS and those that went to a "rough" one between him and me. His HS stories compared to mine make Waltrip look like the Angel Academy. Anyway, Mr. Lipham I think you're doing a really awesome job with the site. Keep up the good work. And to all my fellow classmates- Hello, I hope you're all doing well. I'd love to hear from any of you- At Waltrip I was known as Lloydia Price, however now through a name change and marriage, my name is Krysta Murillo myspace: BeautifulKrysta email: butterflybze@yahoo.com Bye! Go Class of 2002!
Please, Please, give more detail to what BLIS's Academy purposes are, and their functions. I am ask for a more depth description. Reply: Contact Mr Salinas for more information.
I would like to know what happened to Mr. Hankla, he was an English teacher there. I had recently joined the armed forces and I would like to get in touch with him... if anyone has any information please reply. Reply: Mr. Hankla retired.
