The boundary of the East End district, and therefore that of the high school, includes Bigelow, Fourche, and Houston.[2]
Bigelow High administrators made national news when they tore a two-page spread out of the 2021 student yearbook that contained a timeline of events of the past year, including Black Lives Matter and the murder of George Floyd by a police officer. Administrators cited fears of a "community backlash" while detractors charged censorship.[3][4]
