C.C. Winn High School Principal Jesus A.Diaz Weaver and staff welcomed the EPISD Board Lupita Fuentes, Glenna Purcell, Dr. Hector Alvarez, Hilda Martinez, Jorge Barrera, Rudy Bowles and Christopher Hiller, and many others in attendance.  
Master of Ceremony EPISD Public Relations Officer Daniella Byrne expressed the districts enthusiasm and joy to be able to continue progressing as a district for the benefit of the students.  EPISD Superintendent Gilbert Gonzalez spoke about the importance of such projects and providing the students with every possible tool to excel.  
 “We have outgrown the capacity of our current athletic facilities and that’s not necessarily a bad thing, it just demonstrates the high number of students choosing to participate in our athletic programs,” said Gonzalez. “We here at EPISD recognize that our athletic programs compliment our academic programs. Our athletes tend to do better academically because they know they need to pass in order to play.”

Eagle Pass High School also held their ground breaking ceremony on Tuesday morning for the proposed new state of the art field house. EPISD representatives, school faculty and students attended the ceremony. Athletic Director Edward Graf was very thankful to the board and administration  for taking the initiative to build the field houses. “It was a long time coming and is much needed for the kids at Eagle Pass High School,” said Graf. “I know it’s going to enhance the athletic education of students that come here, we appreciate you all for the support you have shown in this project and all the athletic programs we have in the district.”
