Public Relations

PSJA High School is under public scrutiny after a gang fight broke out during a lunch shift which involved 76 students,some of which were armed with brass knuckles and firearms,although no shots were fired.Almost a month afterward, there was a bomb threat that was revealed to be a hoax.The controversy stems from the fact that the students who called in the threat made the call during class, with many questioning the administration's competence.
