Fort Bliss is deeply grateful to the El Paso Independent School District for adopting the 2026 Month of the Military Child Proclamation in April. With more than 8,000 military-connected students enrolled across EPISD, the district’s commitment demonstrated through Purple Star Designated Campuses, Military Family Liaisons, and Military Family Life Counselors provides essential support our community deeply values. Thank you, EPISD, for your unwavering dedication to the success and well-being of our military children and families.
As we move into May, we celebrate another year of strong collaboration and shared achievement. To mark the occasion, Fort Bliss is proud to host our annual High Five Student Recognition event, where we will honor 150 elementary and middle school students, both military and non-military, for their hard work throughout the year. We look forward to an inspiring day of community and celebration.
With the school year drawing to a close, Fort Bliss extends our warmest congratulations and best wishes to the graduating Class of 2026. We are proud of your accomplishments and wish you great success in all your future endeavors. We also invite the entire community to join us for an exciting summer ahead, including our “Pop Goes the Fort” event and a special 4th of July celebration in partnership with the City of El Paso, as we honor America’s 250th Birthday together.
