No thank you from me. Consolidation means losing your community identity, kids getting lost in the shuffle, teachers losing their jobs, long-long-long bus rides. I am a product of that school and a proud alumni. Just out of my class you had a chemical engineer, a financial aid director, several teachers, banker, law enforcement, successful business owners. You and you alone are responsible for how serious you take your education. Sports have been down, but eventually they will cycle back up. If Chester combined with anyone it would logically be Colmesneil. North Tyler County Piney-Wood Rooters (wild hog). I just don’t see that ever happening.
