In the early schools of Denton County which were known as subscription schools only the common branches, reading, writing, arithmetic, and spelling were taught. Even though public schools were provided for by the Constitution of Coahuila-Texas of 1824, it was not until 1884 that the first free public school in Denton was taught. The public schools continued to grow and in 1894 the school was affiliated with a State university. At the present time the Denton School system consist of a Senior High School, a Junior High School, and three elementary schools, with a scholastic enrollment of between twenty-two hundred and twenty - three hundred.

A MESSAGE FROM C. E. SCOGGINS FIRST EDITOR OF THE BRONCO To those who carry on at the Denton High School: You’ve no idea how queer I fool to be called a pioneer, and how delighted. It seoms only yesterday that we found courage to attempt a high school annual. .7e happened to soo a copy of the Cactus — Lucile Geers, and Clifford Vitherspoon, and Esther 7 hittaker, and Claude Minter. Aro those names preserved? I hope so; but to tell the truth, I don’t renembor who were on the staff. I only remember how we worked on the first Bronco, and how proud we were. Itself, I’m still proud. It’s true that I nanod the book, and I drew some of the pictures, and I wrote some of the stories, but Joe Jagoo did all the work. He was the business man, I remember that. He got the book printed. He hunted the advertising. I was only the editor, but Ifm still proud. I've ’written a lot of words since then, and wrangled with many editors, but that only makes me prouder — knowing what editors are up against. Our colors were Maroon and Gold in those days. Esther ‘.Thittaker was a brunette; Maroon and Gold became her, and her mind was strong. ’.That are our colors now? I can't remember ’without harking back to names, you'll notice. I do urge you to notice that. There are names around you now that you'll remember in the days to come; and some of them you'll lose, but you'll regret it. These are precious days you're living naw. They've got a lot to do with what comes after, and I only wish I could make you believe it. I'm not old — except from your point of view; only about throe times older than your average; and yet already I'm a pioneer. It won't be long 'till you look back, remembering your ovm uncertain, hopeful days in tho Denton High School. May tho 3ror.co buck foroveri C. E. Scoggins.
