Dallas Trip Part 3: South Oak Cliff High School

Here’s Rebecca Schmitz (my mom) back at her old stomping grounds at South Oak Cliff.

This picture was taken today, six decades after being the prettiest girl in the senior class. SOC is where my Mom and Dad went to high school in the late 1950s.

The most famous South Oak Cliff graduate is Dennis Rodman, aka “the Worm.”

In fact, South Oak Cliff won the Texas high school state championship in football in 2021 and 2022, which is a stunning achievement given how competitive high school sports are in Texas. That this a smaller public school from the “other side of the tracks” won state football championships back to back is something that probably deserves a movie script. Go, Golden Bears!

But my two champions will always be my mom and dad.
