Thank you Palestine Junior Service League for providing the Quest for Kindness program for PISD 3-4th grades! We were also honored to host students from across the county at our PHS theater. Quest for Kindness helps prevent bullying before it starts using social-emotional learning standards (SEL). In this one-of-a-kind program, students become adventurers as they venture out on an exciting quest to search for the Key to Kindness! This “legendary treasure" unlocks what it means to be kind to the people around us. Featuring audience participation, interactive challenges, and help from our animated assistant Ed Venture, students embark on a thrilling adventure that expands their emotional intelligence and relationship skills.

Join the Wildcat Nation in telling OUR STORY during Black History Month. We are a community with a strong, and rich heritage. The work and efforts of numerous African American residents of Palestine and Anderson County in so many areas must be told and remembered. It must also be remembered the accomplishments were achieved in the face of incredible adversity. Take a moment to share, remember and retell OUR STORY. This photo shows the military presence protecting African American's when they came to the Anderson County courthouse to vote for the first time.

Clarence Franklin Carr, In the early 1900s Carr settled in Palestine, Texas, with his wife Mary A. Carr (Mamie). In 1907 Prof. Nathaniel A. Banks, principal of the Fourth Ward Colored School in Palestine, resigned, and Carr took over the position. He served twelve years at that school, which was later renamed Lincoln High School.

Our history.... celebrating and honoring BLACK HISTORY MONTH in the Wildcat Nation! Alonzo Marion Story (1882-1966) was born in New Orleans to parents John and Mary Story. He attended public schools and graduated from Louisiana's Leland College before doing post-graduate work in Texas and Colorado. Story came to Texas at the age of 21 and taught mathematics in Midway. He also served as a mail clerk before moving in 1912 to Palestine, where he taught math at Lincoln High School, the school for African American students. He taught there until 1917, when he moved to Austin to be principal of the state's Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institute for African Americans. In 1924, Story was offered a job as principal in Dallas. Instead, he returned to Palestine's Lincoln High School, where he taught math and served as principal. Beloved and respected, Story stayed until retiring in 1949, teaching his last years with no eyesight. After retirement, he tutored from his home. In 1953, the school district opened a new facility and named it Alonzo Marion Story High School in honor of the revered educator. After desegregation, the school became a junior high and then an elementary school before being destroyed by a tornado in 1987. In 1990, the district built a new school named for him. ​ Story dedicated his life to education. In addition to his roles as teacher and principal, he was director of religious education at West Union Baptist Church and served on the executive committee of the Texas State Teachers Association and as vice president of the East Texas Teachers Association. His immeasurable contributions to Palestine are reflected in the community's commemoration of his life.
