“Will there be a tomorrow?” she cried. “Will there be a future for my baby?”
“In those harrowing, unprecedented moments of our nation’s history, no one could, with certainty, answer yes to either of her questions. We were in the early hours of a horror. It was too early to comprehend, and beyond our imagination to guess, what would come next,” writes Express-News columnist Cary Clack.

The small elementary school has served the Government Hill neighborhood on San Antonio's East Side since 1959. Though the area is rapidly gentrifying, 99% of Pershing’s 300 students come from low-income households, according to state data.
In 2025, the school scored a 58 — or an F — one of the lowest ratings in Texas. But this year, Pershing and Livas had reason to celebrate: The school’s score jumped to 89, placing it among the state’s highest-rated campuses.
The SAISD school improved by 31 points — the biggest jump in the San Antonio area.
