Reagan was buried in East Hill Cemetery in Palestine, Texas. Legacy and honors Historian Ben H. Procter included Reagan in his list of the "four greatest Texans of the 19th century," along with Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston, and James Stephen Hogg. Reagan County, Texas, is named in his honor. Several schools were named for him, including John H. Reagan Elementary School in Dallas, and Reagan high schools in Houston and Austin. In the 21st century, given demands of social justice, some public school systems have renamed schools that memorialized men associated with the Confederacy and the effort to continue slavery. Reagan High School in Houston was renamed in 2016 to Heights High School by the Houston Independent School District, one of seven schools in the district that were renamed for this reason. In 2019 Reagan Early College High School in Austin was renamed as Northeast Early College High School. The John H. Reagan State Office Building on the Texas State Capitol grounds was named in his honor. Reagan is commemorated by a statue on the University of Texas at Austin campus. On August 21, 2017, in recognition that such Confederate monuments are controversial in today's society, which is still seeking racial justice, Reagan's statue in Austin was taken down. Plans were announced to add it to the Briscoe Center for American History on the east side of the university campus. A park in his hometown of Palestine, Texas, was named for him. A statue of Reagan was installed on the grounds. See also List of United States senators from Texas References Further reading Anderson, John Nathan.
