El Paso ISD is excited to welcome back over 48,000 students on August 1. The district has been working diligently to deliver an elevated student experience in a safe and secure environment.
“With safety, high-quality learning, and a culture of care and compassion at the forefront, we are ready to serve our students and families. We aim to inspire and empower. Together we will thrive and achieve,” said Superintendent of Schools Diana Sayavedra.
Part of the excitement at El Paso ISD is the opening of four new bond campuses.
