El Paso ISD Board of Trustees and Superintendent Dr. Brian Lusk were proud to recognize Andress High School student Abel Castanon for earning the prestigious Outstanding Performer Award at the UIL Texas State Solo-Ensemble Contest. This honor is among the highest individual recognitions for student musicians in Texas. In addition to this honor, he maintains a 4.368 GPA, is a member of the Andress P-TECH program, and recently represented his campus at the National History Day competition at the Smithsonian.
El Paso ISD Board of Trustees and Superintendent Dr. Brian Lusk were excited to recognize Burges High School senior Alexandra Rosales for her election as President of the Texas Association of Student Councils, a prestigious role that positions her as a leading student voice for young leaders across the state. Beyond this achievement, she balances a rigorous schedule as a Burges Early College High School student, National Honor Society member, and drum major of the Burges Band.
