In 1996 Jefferson High School and Portland Oregon was blessed to play host to the filming of the movie Reggie’s Prayer.  Although it never made it to the big screen those of us involved in the film took away many valuable lessons from Reggie White who lived as a devout man of god.

In this particular scene Reggie White is seeing his new school for the first time.  He retired from the NFL in order to teach and coach football at an inner city school that had been plagued with gangs, drugs etc.

Big thanks to the casting director Ms. LeVerne Green for giving us kids an opportunity to be involved with this project.

Rest In Peace to a great man. Reggie White (December 19, 1961 – December 26, 2004).
