El Campo High School, with original construction from 1953, consists of 14 separate buildings that are not connected to each other. Students move between classes by walking outside, often exposed to rain and weather conditions. More than 50% of classrooms are undersized and do not meet TEA standards. Proposition A includes a new academic wing with 14 classrooms, along with special education and life skills classrooms. Prop A would create more space for fine arts students and doubles the cafeteria capacity to serve 500 students. Learn more at https://www.ecisd.org/bond2025
