H. E. Charles Parents! On Friday, December 12, 2025 our students participated in a 'CHARGER CHALLENGE' during their Lunch Time. The H.E. Charles PIE Unit - 1st Battalion 36th Infantry Regiment and the Andress JROTC had our students participate in many activities! There were Military Vehicles that the students were excited that they were able to get inside and learn about. In the Gym, the 1-36 and the AHS JROTC had drill games and activities for the students to include a challenging Relay Race, Weights, and Tug of War. H. E. Charles would like to thank Grand Canyon University, under Brenda Bowers, for providing lunch for our Soldiers and JROTC. GCU offers great support to our Military Families! H.E. Charles would like to thank Mr. & Mrs. Sanchez for providing the rope for the Tug of War activity. Today showed our students several things to include that our PIE Unit is awesome and giving of their time, the Andress JROTC Unit is a group that our students can participate in when they get to high school, and a huge thank you to our H.E. Charles Administration for supporting our students every day!

Winter Wonderland Concert & Importance of Fine Arts! Our Charger Parents learned about the importance of Fine Arts & all Charles offers to our students. Parents enjoyed the Concert and we love how they support their children!

8th Grade Chargers had a great time at the 8th Grade Social Studies Symposium on Wednesday 12-10-25. With the help of UTEP Students and Ms. Prevette, Charles S.St. Teacher, students worked in small interactive groups. Thank you to Mr. Cartwright (UTEP) and D Slayman (EPISD) for this wonderful experience.

On Tuesday, December 9, 2025, H. E. Charles held its annual Science Fair. Our science teachers worked hard to prepare our students and our students shone! We would like to thank our PIE Unit - 1st Battalion 36th Infantry Regiment for judging our students in the Science Fair. They were great judges and our students look forward to having them every year. We would like to thank our PIE Unit for their service to our country. Go Chargers!
