The state of Texas ordered the closure of Johnston high school after the school year of 2008. In, State orders closure of Johnston by Regina Dennis and Laura Heinauer, a sad story is told of a school with heart.

The school is closing because this is the fourth year in a row that they have failed the taks test as school. This is not the only reason. 600 out of their 760 students had more than 10 unexcused abscences in the 2006-2007 school year alone. That is a horrible number and shows that the students were not learning and that is why tthey were not passing the tests.

Johnston Plans to reopen very soon with new and improved changes.
