Today's riddle: What are the two favorite words for a shark to hear? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. San Antonio private school earns No. 1 college prep ranking (lmtonline.com) — San Antonio's Keystone School, located in the Monte Vista Historic District, has been ranked the No. 1 private high school for college prep in the San Antonio area and Bexar County. It also earned top local marks for STEM and diversity, with nearly all students moving on to highly ranked colleges, reinforcing its role as a major option for local families.
2. San Antonio gets just a C+ for balance of housing affordability and supply (expressnews.com) — San Antonio's housing market just earned a C+ for balancing affordability and new construction, with permits and housing starts slipping and prices still high relative to local incomes. While Texas overall leads in homebuilding, San Antonio's slower construction and cautious buyers could tighten inventory further, even as builders offer incentives and a new federal law aims to ease supply constraints.
3. San Antonio chef brings decades of culinary experience to senior living community (kens5.com) — A San Antonio chef with decades of experience in notable local kitchens is now leading dining at Landon Ridge Alamo Ranch, an independent senior living community. Drawing on work in downtown hotels, Hill Country wineries, and South Texas farms, he's focusing on fresh ingredients and personal hospitality to make mealtimes a highlight of residents' daily routines.
4. San Antonio's Michelle Beadle joins Matthew Berry for new Roku sports show (star-telegram.com) — San Antonio-area sports personality Michelle Beadle is back on national TV as co-host of a new live Roku Sports Channel show with fantasy football analyst Matthew Berry, debuting Monday. A UTSA graduate who splits time between San Antonio's Far Northwest Side and Los Angeles, Beadle will help lead daily NFL, fantasy, betting, and major sports coverage.
5. 'I never envisioned that I'd have a home like this': Injured Marine veteran receives mortgage-free San Antonio home (kens5.com) — A San Antonio-area firefighter and Marine veteran who lost his leg in Afghanistan just received a mortgage-free, specially adapted home designed for his accessibility needs. Built by Homes For Our Troops with local support, the house gives his family more space and safety while encouraging other injured veterans in San Antonio to seek out similar resources without guilt.
