History
Austin Junior High opened its doors
in fall of 1976 under the leadership of principal, Curtis Hines.
Helping Mr. Hines with leading the Broncos were Jo Dial and Nim Vokel,
principals. Maroon and white were chosen as the school colors (Mr.
Hines daughter was attending A&M) and the Bronco, Spirit, was chosen as the
school Mascot. Counselors Dar Roedel and Jean Priestly helped guide
the student and help them with the problems. The first organizational
meeting of the PTA was held on October 5, 1976 and Evan Griffiths was
elected president. The school song was based on the tune of the Texas
state song, Texas, Our Texas, and the fight song's melody taken from Ghost
Riders in the Sky. The words for both school songs were written by one
of the art teachers, Carolyn Kelly. During the first year the athletic
department had some rough times being the new school in the area but the 8th
grade girls track team coached by Arlene Fasbender won every event they
enter. They won 27 of the possible 28 trophies during the year.
The year was highlighted with the creation of the Austin Student council
with Brian Barton as the governor and the National Junior Honor Society with
Cindi Aaen as president. The first Sweetheart Ball was held in
February with Dana Schroeder and Bob Castleton being named Queen and King.
