TOMBALL, TX — Signaling a dramatic shift in focus from its longstanding tradition, a local high school proposed adding academics to its football program.
Tomball High School, long known for its commitment to excellence in all things football, launched an exploratory committee to look into the possibility of adding subjects of educational study and an official curriculum to its sports program.
"It might add a little something on the side," said school administrator Sheldon Harfield. "With our student body and faculty focused so intently on upholding the high standard of football we've come to expect, they could benefit from having another outlet to enrich their experience. Creating an academic program as an extra activity could be a fun, supplemental thing for the kids. Sure, academics might not be something any of them use later in life like football, but it can still be rewarding."
Not everyone was excited by the proposal, however. "It'll just distract all the kids from what high school is supposed to be all about," said Head Coach Kal Farmer. "We've built a culture here at the school that prioritizes winning football games above all else. It's something the whole town is on board with. If you add all these classes and expect students to be learning 'math' and 'science' and whatnot… it just ends up cutting into the time they could be devoting to football. I don't like it."
At publishing time, the school had announced that only players who have received passing grades for their performances on the football field would be eligible to participate in academics.
