Dear Tiger Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to update you on the construction progress for our gyms. The crews are working diligently to complete the necessary renovations, and we are optimistic that the work will be finished by the end of this week.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to enhance our facilities. Our goal is to have both gyms fully operational in time for the volleyball game on Tuesday, August 27. We look forward to welcoming you back to our refreshed spaces and cheering on our Tigers!
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Sandra Rocha
Principal, El Paso High School

Querida comunidad tigresa,
Espero que este mensaje te encuentre bien. Quería informarles sobre el progreso de la construcción de nuestros gimnasios. Las cuadrillas están trabajando diligentemente para completar las renovaciones necesarias y somos optimistas de que el trabajo estará terminado para fines de esta semana.
Agradecemos sinceramente su paciencia y comprensión mientras trabajamos para mejorar nuestras instalaciones. Nuestro objetivo es tener ambos gimnasios en pleno funcionamiento a tiempo para el partido de voleibol del martes 27 de agosto. ¡Esperamos darle la bienvenida nuevamente a nuestros espacios renovados y animar a nuestros Tigres!
Gracias por su continuo apoyo.
Atentamente,
Sandra Rocha
Director, Escuela Preparatoria de El Paso
