We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Veterans Memorial coach Leyton Hernandez, who passed away at age 28 following a crash Friday afternoon. Hernandez was in his fifth year teaching and coaching at Veterans Memorial High School in Corpus Christi. Our thoughts are with his family, students, and the Eagles community during this difficult time

Though we often fall short, the aim and claim at @ACUedu is that in aspiring to live up to our middle name, we define success differently. Seniors Rich Smith and Joe Venzant, who played elsewhere, speak definitively as to why @BretteTanner is the right coach for this job.

Studies show family meals are literally linked to better grades. According to a Columbia University study by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA), children who frequently share dinner with their families achieve higher grades in school. The data reveals that teens eating five or more family meals weekly are far more likely to earn excellent marks and demonstrate advanced communication and vocabulary abilities. This research underscores how routine family engagement fosters a nurturing, stable setting that enhances emotional well-being and self-assurance—vital factors in scholastic achievement. The advantages go further: shared mealtimes provide a secure forum for self-expression, absorption of family principles, and honing of analytical thinking. Notably, the study also shows that adolescents with more family dinners are markedly less prone to risky activities like smoking or alcohol use. In today’s world of packed agendas and digital distractions, these findings highlight how the straightforward act of dining together can significantly influence a child’s trajectory.

And it will forever be appalling to me that a bunch of celebrities with influence over young people used their platforms to amplify unevidenced claims for the benefit of transitioning minors while smearing those urging caution as bigots.
