The El Paso ISD family proudly honors the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. and his enduring impact on justice, equality, and peace.

This January 19 marks 40 years of celebrating MLK Day as a federal holiday; we continue to be inspired by his efforts to make the American dream a reality for so many more.
