The Eagle Pass Independent School District Board of Trustees approved the construction of two new gymnasiums and the remodeling of the existing locker rooms at Eagle Pass High School and C. C. Winn High School at their Regular Meeting held on Tuesday, June 14, 2017.

Each of the new high school gymnasiums will have the latest weight training programs to strengthen and condition the student-athletes of Eagle Pass Eagles and C. C. Winn Mavericks as well as expand the space available for all gym activities and sports.

The two new gymnasiums will cost the EPISD taxpayers $1,235,549 plus another $369,128 to remodel the existing locker rooms at both Eagle Pass High and C. C. Winn High.  The locker room remodeling at Eagle Pass High will cost $213,861 while the C.C. Winn High will cost $155,267.

All of the athletic sports coaches are excited and enthusiastic regarding the approval of construction of the two gymnasiums, weight training centers, and locker rooms as these will bring these facilities up to par with the latest technologies available.  For many years, EPISD student-athletes had to do with lower quality facilities while their adversaries such as Laredo United, Laredo Alexander, San Antonio Southwest, San Antonio Harlandale, and San Antonio McCollum have had the latest training facilities and technologies available.

On another Board agenda matter, the EPISD Board approved to award the bid to construct the C. C. Winn High School gymnasium to Aguila Construction of Eagle Pass, Texas.
