Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District
Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District (HEB ISD) is a government organization that runs public schools. HEB ISD has students in pre-kindergarten to grade 12. Almost all students in Bedford, Euless, and Hurst go to HEB ISD schools. Some students in North Richland Hills, Colleyville, Fort Worth, and Arlington go to HEB ISD.
The district runs twenty elementary schools, five junior high schools, two large high schools, and some schools for special purposes. HEB ISD schools offer special classes about foreign language, art, science, and work skills.
In 2018, HEB ISD was rated "A" by the Texas Education Agency.
There were other schools in this area before HEB ISD, including Bedford College, Bedford School, and Euless School.
Mosier Valley School was in the Euless School District. It opened in 1883 and closed in 1949 because it was in bad condition. In 1950, a judge said the Euless School District had to have a separate school for African-American students. The school district opened the old building again for one year. In 1951, Mosier Valley School moved into a new, brick building.
The Euless and Hurst school districts combined in 1955. The Hurst-Euless School District had 1,418 students and grew to almost 2,300 students in the next two years. In 1958, people who lived in the Bedford School District voted to combine with the Hurst-Euless School District. HEB ISD had 3,116 students and seven schools during its first year.
In 2016, the school district had 22,780 students. On tests that year, 85% of HEB ISD students earned good scores. (Only 77% of students near HEB ISD and 75% of students in the state of Texas earned good scores.) Schools in HEB ISD have students of more different races than almost all other schools in the United States.
The War of the Worlds (radio drama)
In 1938, Orson Welles produced a radio version of the 1898 book "The War of the Worlds" by H. G. Wells. Wells only produced one episode of the American radio drama anthology series "The Mercury Theatre on the Air". This episode was produced as the Halloween episode. It was broadcast on Sunday, October 30, 1938. It became famous for allegedly causing mass panic, although the scale of the panic is disputed as the program had relatively few listeners.
The first two-thirds of the one-hour broadcast was presented as a series of simulated news bulletins. The first news update interrupted a program of dance music to report that a series of odd explosions had been spotted on Mars, which was followed soon thereafter by a seemingly unrelated report of an unusual object falling on a farm in Grover's Mill, New Jersey. Martians emerged from the object and attacked using a heat ray during the next interruption, which was followed by a rapid series of news reports describing a devastating alien invasion taking place across the United States and the world. The illusion of realism was increased because the "Mercury Theatre on the Air" was a sustaining show without commercial interruptions, and the first break in the program came almost 30 minutes into the broadcast. Popular legend holds that all of the radio audience may have been listening to Edgar Bergen and tuned in to "The War of the Worlds" during a musical interlude, thereby missing the clear introduction that the show was a drama, but research beginning in the 2010s suggests this only happened in rare instances.In the days following the adaptation, widespread outrage was expressed in the media. The program's news-bulletin format was described as deceptive by some newspapers and public figures, leading to an outcry against the perpetrators of the broadcast and calls for regulation by the Federal Communications Commission. The episode secured Welles' fame as a dramatist.
