About

Jason Robards portraying Washington Post Editor Ben Bradley in All The President’s Men

The Pony Express is the student news site of Houston High School and is part of the English/Journalism Curriculum. Founded during the 1991-92 school year, The Pony Express strives to bring relevant news and information to our students, faculty, staff, and community.

The journey in creating an online student news site was a short, frantic one; filled with disappointment (mostly from the staff), diligence (especially by the editor) and purpose. Beginning in the 2014-2015 school year after 22 years of traditional distribution, The Pony Express has switched to a digital format.

The group responsible for the transition consists of 14 students, eight first year journalism students with no experience, a first time editor and a new faculty sponsor. They achieved the format change in just over three weeks.

The goal of The Pony Express and it’s staff  is to bring together and serve as a resource for students, faculty, and community of Houston High School and the Germantown Municipal School District.
