Mavericks Awarded Houston Astros Scholarship

CC Winn Mavericks Erick Lopez and Marychelo Flores were recently recognized as recipients of the 2017 Minute Maid Grand Slam for Youth Scholarship. 
This scholarship recognizes students athletes who played baseball or softball throughout their high school experience. Each student will receive an amazing $5,000 scholarship from Minute Maid and the Houston Astros to help them with their college expenses. 
The Houston Astros Foundation, not only recognized the students, but their College Advisor as well. The Houston Astros applauded Winn's College Advisor, Maria Luisa Uriegas, for not only transporting the students to the interview, but also encouraging and motivating them to go for this opportunity. It was a tremendous feat as this is the first time in 10 years that the program has had two recipients from the same town, let alone the same campus!
Marychelo and Erick were both vital members of their teams and will be greatly missed next year on and off the field. 
Go Mavericks! Go Astros!

Congratulations to all and Go Mavericks!



Winn is College Ready!

CC Winn High School's class of 2018 is ready and rearing to start their senior year! 
With application season and FAFSA right around the corner, it was only fitting for the Mavs to start visiting colleges and give their seniors a head start.   
On June 6th, a group of Maverick Seniors embarked on an exciting college trip!
The focus of the trip was to show students the different options in universities, public and private, along with hands on experiences. 
The trip began at 2:00 am on June 6 traveling to the University of Texas at Arlington.  Students enjoyed a walking tour, where they got the chance to see innovation at its best with the Arts & Engineering Buildings and Smart Hospital. The Smart Hospital is fully equipped as an emergency room that provides hands on instruction to students in their nursing program.  
Later that same afternoon, the college of Engineering at the University of North Texas was visited.  Students were able to observe all engineering classrooms along with special programs and projects UNT is involved in. 
On Day two, Baylor University instructed the Mavericks on admission requirements and of course, provided a tour of their beautiful and historical campus. Students learned about tradition, academics, and way of life at Baylor University.  
The Baylor tour was followed by a trip to the Dr. Pepper Museum.  Dr. Pepper was first manufactured in the city of Waco in 1885.  This unique experience was also a  learning experience both in History and Science as the students had the opportunity to create their own soda drink.  At the end of the day stumbling upon the Magnolia Market was such a treat for all!
Day three, the students visited the Holocaust Museum. The group's Docent was a very knowledgeable individual who provided the students with an emotional and moving experience. 
The last stop was the “Power House”, University of Houston.  
Students learned about their admission requirements, scholarship opportunities, COA, and the opportunity to see a hotel on campus. 
Overall, this trip was such an overwhelmingly positive academic experience for the Mavericks! In just 3 days. Winn visited 4 campuses, 2 museums, and the Magnolia Market!
A special thank you to Winn's College Advisor, Maria Luisa Uriegas, for planning and executing a truly outstanding and educational trip!
Go Mavericks!

EPHS Participates in Adopt-A-Highway

On Tuesday June 6th, early in the morning Eagle Pass High School Student Council members put on their bright fluorescent orange vests and began their two year commitment to clean 2 miles of Highway 277, north of the Elm Creek pulga.
What started off as a bright crisp morning soon gave in to a blistering heat wave, but these hard-working and dedicated StuCo members never faltered until the job was done!

Student Council Sponsor, Dolores Rodriguez, stated “I was surprised at the amount of bags of trash we collected. It consisted mainly of plastic water bottles and plastic bags. We were out there over 3 hours, and there is still more to be picked up.”



EPHS Student Council will continue their mission to clean their community, one piece of highway at a time. The group would like to ask the entire community to unite in their mission and to please, next time you are driving around and get an urge to discard something out the window, reconsider it.

EPHS Student Council Brings Awareness to Red Nose Day & World Poverty

On May 26th, Eagle Pass High School Student Council & Leadership Class members participated in Red Nose Day. The Red Nose Campaign raises money to end child poverty around the world.

History of Red Nose Day
In 1985, Comic Relief launched in the United Kingdom with the goal of using comedy to raise money and help those leading really tough lives. The goal? Creating a just world free from poverty.
The very first Red Nose Day was held in 1988. With millions of people participating in its first year, it was clear that a truly amazing movement was underway.
With every fundraiser held, TV special aired, partner enlisted, and Red Nose sold the movement continues to grow. Red Nose Day has raised over $1 billion globally.
Since 2015, Red Nose Day in America has raised over $60 million to help kids and young people most in need. We'll hope you join us on our journey as we make an even bigger impact.
