Ninety-five current students and eight faculty members traveled to Texas over the summer on the first annual Brother Martin 8th grade trip. The trip departed school on Monday July 25 and returned on Friday July 29. The students and faculty covered many attractions in the Dallas and San Antonio area. Such attractions included a Texas Rangers baseball game, a VIP tour of the new Cowboys Stadium, Six Flags over Dallas, the Alamo, Sea World, Schlitterbahn, and the San Antonio Riverwalk. The trip was a huge success thanks to the efforts of the faculty and the behavior of the students.
