El Campo ISD’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) facilities are outdated, with undersized classrooms that limit capacity. CTE participation has grown by 9% over the last three years, with enrollment expected to continue increasing.
Currently, ECISD offers 10 programs of study, four dual credit CTE courses, and 12 industry-based certifications that prepare students for in-demand careers.
Proposition A would expand and renovate CTE facilities to accommodate the growing enrollment in welding, carpentry, auto tech, and cosmetology programs.

ECMS 7th grade AVID students toured Sam Houston State University on Thursday, March 20th. The tour was led by ECHS graduates Sammi Hubert, SHSU baseball player Brock Rod and SHSU football player Carson Whitington.
Students in Mrs. Kacer’s Medical Terminology class participated in a senses lab, where they discovered their blind spot, which eye was dominant, how smell and taste are linked, and where they taste sweet/salty/sour/bitter the most on different parts of their tongue.
A Citizens' Committee of 60 El Campo community members and leaders met over five months to evaluate the district's long-term facility needs. Their work included facility assessments, financial evaluations, and master planning. In February, they presented a recommendation to the Board of Trustees for the May 2025 bond election.

The high school cafeteria does not have enough space for all students, leading to off-campus lunch for sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Even with three grades leaving campus, freshmen still exceed available seating. The overcrowding also creates scheduling challenges across the campus.
Proposition A would double the cafeteria’s capacity to accommodate 500 students.

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 half of the classrooms in the buildings slated for demolition are smaller than the state minimum and do not meet TEA standards.
Proposition A would connect campus buildings, improving security, maintenance, and classroom spaces. Learn more at ecisd.org. https://www.ecisd.org/bond2025
El Campo ISD spent $110,000 last year on maintenance and HVAC installation. Upgrading aging facilities with modern, energy-efficient systems can help reduce utility expenses and maintenance costs.
