MJH Band Director Composes Hit
Mr. Vargas' work will be performed at the Midwest Clinic International Band and Orchestra Conference. The conference will be held in Chicago on December 15-18. The Midwest Clinic International Band and Orchestra Conference is the largest music conference in the United States, with over 18,000 people attending from all over the world.
Mr. Vargas' composition will be performed by the Keller Wind ensemble from Keller, Texas. The music that is performed at the Midwest Clinic is very carefully selected by each group, which makes it a truly special event for the composers.
It is indeed a great honor for each composer to hear their music performed at the Midwest Clinic, and it is extremely rare for a Hispanic composer to have his music performed at this event. This recognition is similar to someone getting their artwork displayed at the Smithsonian!
Mr. Vargas stated, "I am very honored to represent the city of Eagle Pass and the Eagle Pass Independent School District with my music, and now everyone at the conference will know where I am from."
Mr. Vargas' other accomplishments include a string orchestra composition that is on the Prescribed Music List and band composition, "Luna Y Fuego", that was listed on the Bandworld Top 100 Band Songs of 2020.
Congratulations Mr. Vargas and thank you for being an inspiration to your students and colleagues alike!

Congratulations to Mr. David Even: October Teacher of the Month
Eagle Pass Independent School District has partnered with
local businesses throughout our city to highlight the Teacher of the Month
program, which honors educators who have made a difference in our
community. The program recognizes outstanding kindergarten,
elementary, junior high, and high school teachers in Eagle Pass, Texas.
October's Teacher of the Month is none other than the Eagle Pass
High School's, Mr. David Even. Now entering his 5th year of teaching at EPHS,
Mr. Even has demonstrated his method of teaching in a profound manner to all of
his students. He is currently teaching World Geography, Boys Basketball, and in
the spring he will tackling AP Macroeconomics. In the spectrum of World
Geography, he is able to bring the outside world to the eyes of freshmen level
students. He introduces these young students to different lands, cultures, and
ways of thinking to students who may never have the opportunity to travel
beyond our hometown of Eagle Pass. In the realm of AP Macroeconomics, he
exposes students to the world of finances, investments, and most importantly
credit. This is vital since most of the AP students will be graduating and
venturing into the real world shortly. As a coach for Boys Basketball, he
has the privilege of introducing his athletes to the skills they will need to
succeed in the sport and in life. He makes sure his lessons can transcend on
and off the court,
Mr. David Even is an asset to EPHS, EPISD, and Eagle Pass,
Texas. He is the type of person that will never back down from any challenge
and will take it on head first with a smile on his face and a heart full of
love for his students. For all these reasons and more, Mr. David Even is
Teacher of the Month.
A segment will appear on iVision throughout the month of October
detailing many more accomplishments of Mr. Even. This month he will also
appear on community media, news publications and the EPISD website throughout
October 2021. A teacher will be selected each month through May 2021
for a total of eight (8) honorees. The “Teacher of the Month” will
be chosen based on educational achievements in the classroom, community
contributions and innovative programs and techniques used by the teacher. The
“Teacher of the Month” will receive a certificate of recognition and will be
featured on iVision, local media news, news publications and radio broadcasting. Additionally,
each “Teacher of the Month” will receive donations from local businesses.
Each T.O.M is
receiving a “V.I.T (Very Important Teacher) Parking Pass”, a jean voucher for a
month, Whataburger Gift Card, and Class Cash to purchase class room supplies.
Additionally, each “Teacher of the Month” will receive donations from local
businesses. Thank You Border Federal Credit Union, Ashley Furniture,
1212 Chisolm Group, EPISD Spirit Ambassadors, and Peter Piper Pizza.
