AN UNLIKELY BOND
During a Bryan ISD leadership meeting a few years ago, Director of Transportation Warren Lanphier and Rayburn Assistant Principal Christian Rauch made the unlikely discovery that they grew up in the same midsized town in Idaho named after Lewis (from Lewis & Clark fame). They also found out they were born in the same small town nearby. They grew up at different time periods, so neither had met before Bryan ISD.
And Now, Here’s the Rest of the Story:
Our conversation with Warren and Christian was so engaging, so fascinating, and so free-flowing that it couldn’t be contained in one video. Loads of Idaho facts were left on the “cutting room floor.” Luckily for you, we saved a couple of them below:

John Shelton Radio Interview
Rudder Head Girls Basketball Coach John Shelton recently announced his retirement after 34 years of educating Texas students as a high school basketball coach. Nearly half of those years were in Bryan ISD and we are grateful for all of them.
According to KBTX, “Shelton only failed to make the playoffs four times in his 31 seasons as a head coach. During 27 playoff appearances, his teams advanced to the state tournament three times and won a state championship in 2002 at Buffalo High School.”
As Coach Shelton prepares for the next chapter of his life, he took a few minutes to talk with Dr. Hugo Ibarra, Bryan ISD community outreach officer, and KEOS DJ Lance in the fascinating interview below:
SOCIAL MEDIA SPOTLIGHT
Huge shout out to the Bulldogs of Mitchell Elementary for frequently posting engaging content on their Facebook page. Throughout the school year, the school has profiled the creative projects, amazing stories and smiling faces that fill its classrooms. In turn, parents respond with lots of Facebook love for their school!
FOLLOWING UP…
You might remember our Inside Bryan ISD story last month about Charlie Van Eman. On April 16, Charlie had a very big day as he received the bryanisd.org/essential8 courage award from his school and he threw out the first pitch at a Bryan High baseball game.
