School spirit has no age limit! This week El Paso ISD celebrates the generations who support our schools.
Dear El Paso ISD Community,
El Paso ISD is proud to celebrate our senior community members this week by offering them free admission to all district athletic events. Our schools stand on the shoulders of the generations who supported them, and welcoming our seniors into the stands is one small way we can say thank you for your lifelong commitment to our students.
This spirit of giving back touches the very heart of what we do. True teaching and leadership requires us to put others first. We show up every day with grace, patience, and a dedicated spirit to ensure every student has every opportunity to succeed. Seeing our teachers, staff, and campus leaders embrace this selfless mindset across our district is what makes El Paso ISD such a special place to learn and grow.
Classrooms, and the communities surrounding them, remain the center of our universe. Whether you are cheering from the bleachers this week or supporting our students in the classroom, thank you for your selfless dedication to keeping El Paso ISD moving forward together.
Sincerely,
Dr. Brian Lusk
Superintendent of Schools
