Clothes litter the parking lot where four people were shot during a pre-prom gathering for Saginaw High School near the Florence Event Hall, 110 Florence in Saginaw, Thursday, May 23, 2013. A 17-year-old girl died. Three other women, ages 18, 19 and 39 were injured during the shooting and were receiving treatment at a local hospital.

The town was renamed Saginaw in 1882 by Jarvis J. Green, who had lived and worked on Saginaw Street in Pontiac, Michigan. The name Saginaw comes from the Ojibwe language and means "to flow out."
I can't pronounce her first name..but at least she comes from good Irish stock
/ S
Black Irish.
Article says it is Saginaw, Michigan. It is from the AP. Maybe someone in TX got mixed up. Or maybe sister cities. Saginaw, TX may be rough town too, but it is not a boarder town so I doubt it comes close to Saginaw. Saginaw is mini Detroit. BTW there is a Saginaw, Alabama too. Of the three the latter likely the best.
Tonquinisha ... like “Tonkin Gulf.” Maybe someone in the family tree was a Vietnam vet.
Its a pretty curious name to be found in such diverse places. What Wiki says about Saginaw Michigan.
The name Saginaw is widely believed to mean “where the Sauk were” in the Ojibwe language, possibly in reference to the Sauk tribe who lived at the mouth of the river. Another possible explanation is that it originated from “Sace-nong” or “Sak-e-nong” (English: Sauk Town) because the Sauk people once lived there, or from Chippewa words meaning ‘place of the outlet’ from “sag” (English: opening), and “ong” (English: place of).
The Tonkin Gulf, another black spot in history where lies were perpetrated to create a justification to send our soldiers to war?
Looks like Saginaw Texas is named after Saginaw Mi. (Originally named Dido)

This school is 94% black compared to 20% statewide
This school has 87% free/reduced lunches compared to 42%
This school had *****4%****** proficiency in 9th grade Social Studies in 2013 compared to 29% statewide
It sounds similar.
This school should be designated a “Lyndon B. Johnson Great Society School of Success”
“Tonquinisha”
a 17 year old sophomore
her life was probably a living hell with a baby momma that name her that travesty and an environment that didn’t help her matriculate
poor kid
Did you see this? Article from Saginaw News
Those were Michigan license plates on the vehicles.
This is a bit confusing for me, as I grew up in Beaumont Tx, —and yes, there is a Saginaw TX——and this article is from the Beaumont Enterprise—which is the Beaumont TX newspaper..............
Then I saw the dress-—and decided to try to forget about the whole thing.......
This school had *****4%****** proficiency in 9th grade Social Studies in 2013 compared to 29% statewide
. . . is practically moronic from several different angles .. and if that's for a nonsense area like 'social studies', one can only imagine how hideously depressing the math scores must be !
Judging by the 'names' hung on those kids, English Comp and/or Lit are likely not taught at all.
Best move, from a blood pressure perspective.
One would think you’d get better than 4% just guessing at the answers.
