Eagle Pass High School Student Council Participates in Highway Cleanup Campaign

(Press Release) 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.
