About Us
Serving Grades 9–12
Learning for Life, Learning for Leadership
Welcome to Ronald Reagan High School where we prepare your Rattler for success with nationally recognized programs, more than ninety clubs and organizations, and an innovative, committed facility with high academic standards focused on students.
Mission
Ronald Reagan High School is committed to providing an environment where students benefit from a 360° education through a well-rounded curriculum that fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and social development.
Vision
Ronald Reagan High School is a campus that aspires to have its students learn for life and for leadership.
Education Approach
Reagan teachers have adopted five critical practices that result in highly effective teaching. Teachers begin by framing the lesson where they give a clear and concise picture of what will be happening in class. Teachers at Reagan teach from the “power zone”, which means that they will be circulating through the classroom to provide easy access to students throughout the class time. The third practice is to recognize and reinforce student’s achievements to help students maintain their motivation. Teachers also provide opportunities for frequent small group and purposeful talk about the information being presented. Lastly teachers encourage students to write critically to increase their retention, refine their thinking, and make their learning visible.

The Reagan Way!
-
The phrase you will hear most often as a form of approval, unification, and rallying call is “Strike `Em Ratters”. You will hear it in our daily announcements, games, and performances, basically, anywhere Rattlers are present. This phrase reflects our school’s culture of seizing and maximizing every moment in our lives.
-
Our campus’ foundation, literally, has education built into it. Our solar system is represented by each planet’s orbit permanently formed into the concrete of our floors. Flowing outwards from the “sun”, a support column in front of our library, to the farthest reaches of the Rattler Den, our students experience how extensive our solar system is through the spatial relationships between those carved orbits.
-
Reagan High School was designed to facilitate students' learning and growth. Our main campus has four main building groups. The academic, ROTC, athletic, and fine arts buildings represent not just specific concentrations, but offer Rattlers a change in mindset when moving from one class to another.
-
Our Reagan Courtyard is a place where students can have lunch with their friends, hang out reading a book, or play games. Surrounded by trees, open to the sun, and with plenty of places to sit, students can find an enjoyable and peaceful place to experience being a Rattler.
-
At Reagan, we are proud of our diverse student and teacher population. We see inclusivity and diversity as strengths and opportunities for growth. Rattlers’ perspectives, attitudes, stories and expectations about the world around us, are broadened by our culture.
-
Through the discipline of our students and the dedication of the Reagan faculty, Reagan is proud to consistently produce National Merit Scholars. Our Rattler National Merit Scholars will carry this accomplishment with them throughout college life and beyond.
-
We believe in strong parent involvement with our school. With 100% teacher membership, we are a true partnership between Parents and Teachers life.

Our Cluster
Welcome to the Reagan Cluster in the North East Independent School District. As a Reagan High School School student, your child will establish a passion, curiosity, and foundation for life-long learning while nurturing their social and emotional skills. Outside of the classroom, your child can embrace what they love or try something new through diverse clubs, programs and organizations.
Your child will discover even more opportunities at Lopez and Bush Middle School. As their academic foundation expands in the classroom, their circle of friends and experiences will grow through new opportunities in Athletics, Fine Arts, Student Council, National Junior Honor Society, competitive UIL contests, and more.
At Reagan High School, your child will excel academically and socially while embracing beloved Rattler traditions with memories that will last a lifetime. Your child has the freedom and support to pursue their passions in a variety of nationally recognized programs, organizations, and clubs – from Athletics to JROTC, Band, Dance, PALS, Photography, UIL, and much more.
There’s so much to discover in the Reagan cluster. Thank you for choosing NEISD.
