I had written a column a few years ago questioning whether the school district really cared about both of its high schools. I asserted that the priority list of SFPS, especially when it comes to athletics, is this:
1. Santa Fe High School
2. Santa Fe High School
3. See Nos. 1 and 2, then repeat.
4. Capital High School.
So yesterday, the district issues a release regarding the hiring of a new head girls basketball and girls soccer coach at Santa Fe High. About 10 days earlier, Capital High School hired a new head boys basketball coach. No release was issued (perhaps because the story was broken before it could be written, but that doesn't change the bottom line).
Perhaps I am being cynical here, but how does one pair of hirings get mentioned, but another not? Again, it could be because we broke the Capital High story, but if that hadn't happened, would SFPS have given it the same due consideration?
Just food for thought.
