EPJ Celebrates RED RIBBION WEEK

Several Local and Federal agencies gathered at Eagle Pass Junior High as special guests of Principal Mario Escobar, to commemorate Fallen DEA Special Agent Enrique Camarena, who fell victim to the "War on Drugs" while working undercover in Guadalajara Mexico. In attendance were EPISD Trustee & EPPD Senior Motorcycle Officer Humberto Torralba II, EPISD DARE Officer Rick Flores, DEA Group Supervisor Rick Johnson, USCBP Public Affairs Officer Ethelvina Felan, and EPISD Public Relations Officer Melissa Gratkowski as the keynote speaker.

Red Ribbon rallies are held across the nation during the month of October, as a reminder of the constant dangers of drugs and where all in attendance make a drug-free pledge.
