Eric Herrera is Reserve Champion at the San Antonio Stock Show Rodeo

EPHS Senior, Eric Herrera, recently competed at the San Antonio Stock Show Rodeo Agricultural Science Fair in Animal Systems. He presented an experiment on how to transplant animal tissue into humans for human organ growth. The twenty minute presentation was done before a professor-based panel from Texas A& M and Texas Tech on Saturday, Feb 21, 2016. Eric was Reserve Champion. 

The 1^st Place recipient was ineligible to claim her prize enabling Eric to claim the $10,000 scholarship prize & banner, thereby advancing to compete at the Houston Stock Show and Rodeo March 2016.

Eric was a 1^st Time FFA & San Antonio Stock Show Competitor.  EPHS Career Tech Teacher, Mr. Charlie Cardenas introduced him to the competition and assisted Eric with guidance and the tools necessary to delivery his presentation. When asked what he would say about this experience, he responded “I could not have done this without my Agricultural Science Teachers.” Eric is the son of Noelia & Javier Herrera and the oldest of two children.

EPHS Principal, Mr. John Cox, along with his Staff and student body would like to wish Eric much luck!  The EPISD supports this hard working student, and wishes him continued success.
