Lyndon B. Johnson High School (Austin, Texas)
Lyndon B. Johnson High School (Austin, Texas)

Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ) Early College High School is a public high school in northeast Austin, Texas. At the time of its opening in 1974, LBJ was only the second high school in the U.S. (after the former Johnson City High School) to be named for the 36th President. In 1985, LBJ became the host of a new academic magnet program, the Science Academy of Austin (SA), which drew students from all over the city. A second high school magnet program, the Liberal Arts Academy of Austin (LAA), was opened at Albert Sidney Johnston High School in 1987; the two programs were merged in 2002, forming the Liberal Arts and Science Academy (LASA) magnet within LBJ. In 2007, the Austin Independent School District split LASA and LBJ into separate high schools with their own principals, faculty, and staff in order for LBJ to be eligible for a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to implement the "First Things First" educational enrichment program. After the split, LBJ and LASA were housed on the same campus (though largely on different floors) and continued to share athletic teams and certain extracurricular activities and electives (band, theater, newspaper, yearbook, choir, orchestra, etc.) until LASA's relocation. In 2011, via a partnership with the Austin Community College, LBJ established a new program through which students could earn up to 60 college credits while still in high school, earning it the "Early College High School" (ECHS) designation it bears today. In 2021, LASA relocated to the former Eastside Memorial Early College High School campus. LBJ Early College High School's mascot is the Jaguar, and the school's colors are purple and white. The principal of LBJ Early College High School is Jon Bailey. Patrick Patterson, who had been at the school since the 2004-2005 school year as part of the high school campus redesign program initiated to help raise TAKS scores, retired after the 2009-2010 school year. As a result of the split, LASA and LBJ are required to have separate principals. From 2007 to 2021, the school occupied the first floor of its campus, while LASA was on the second floor. Melissa B. Taboada of the Austin American-Statesman stated that some members of the Austin community "say the division [was] a constant blemish on the campus".

Pioneer Farms
Pioneer Farms

Pioneer Farms (formerly known as the Jourdan-Bachman Pioneer Farm or pluralized, the Jourdan-Bachman Pioneer Farms) is a living history museum in Austin, Texas. The site was originally granted to a settler, James O. Rice, in the fall of 1844 as part of a larger land acquisition. Frederick and Harriet Jourdan moved into what is now known as Pioneer Farms in 1852 and would later build a farm about 2,000 acres large. Pioneer Farms itself is only about 95 acres in size. In 1956, the site was donated to the Heritage Society of Austin by the grandchildren of Frederick and Harriet for the purpose of establishing a park there. It formally became a history museum in 1975. The museum is open to the public from Tuesday to Friday and hosts themed events for holidays like Halloween, Easter and Christmas. The museum hosts field trips and educational programs for schoolchildren. Pioneer Farms contains numerous historic locations within its boundaries, along with the Scarborough Barn, a livestock farm. Various animals such as chickens, horses and Texas longhorns can be found in the barn. Some of the structures that are at the farm were originally in separate locations in Central Texas and were moved there to preserve their history. Other in Pioneer Farms include a farm that was inhabited by German immigrant Fritz Kruger in 1868, during a period of economic growth for Texas' agricultural industry. Another location within the museum is a green belt that was designated in 1853. Many other areas are in the museum; a blacksmithery, the James Bell home and the Frederick Jourdan cabin, a stone blockhouse built in 1868, a rural village established in 1899, a stagecoach stop constructed in 1873, an 1864 encampment of the Tonkawa people, and several other farms built throughout the 19th century. Pioneer Farms is home to the historic Aynesworth–Wright House.
