The Mexican-American history is very rich here in Corpus Christi. This scavenger hunt find of the Nueces County Courthouse was quite worth it. The site of history started out as a pioneer's site, was then funded to become the Experimental school for Mexican-American students. Mrs. Rose was the experimental teacher who succeeded in transferring education from herself to her students. The school grew and grew reputation. It provided Mexican-Americans education, something kept from them in the U.S. simply because of others forming prejudice ideas about Mexican-Americans. The site is now the courthouse. It continues to provide for a majority Mexican-American community.
