Houston was a 1999 graduate of Santa Fe High School. Then, on Oct. 10, two 1996 Santa Fe graduates were among six college students killed near F.M. 60 while walking to a fraternity party. Santa Fe is a town of about 10,000 people, with 4,300 students in the school district, Adams said. The community did its best to pull together despite the staggering grief, she said. Anytime something like this happens, they're real good about having help available.
