[edit] Athletics

Austin Reagan has a very successful football program. Under coaches Travis Raven, Carroll Lundin, Wally Freytag and Dennis Ceder the Reagan Raiders formed a dynasty in Texas high school football from 1967 to 1994. In 1967, 1968 and 1970 the Raiders won Texas state championships as well as mythical national championships.

The school motto was always used at the end of a football game or of a pep rally, Not Without Honor.

Not without honor
We shall always be
True to our colors
Symbols of our unity
Spirit and victory
Bonds which strongly tie
Our hearts and minds together
Live with Honor.

The choir also had their own song, The Lord Bless You and Keep You.

The Lord bless you and keep you
The Lord lift His countenance upon you,
And give you peace, and give you peace;
The Lord make His face to shine upon you,
And be gracious, and be gracious;
The Lord be gracious, gracious unto you.
