Summary
East Central ISD reported a ribbon cutting for Valor Middle School, the district’s largest graduating class (824) with 98% college/career/military readiness, expanded cyber security and drone‑pilot programs, and plans for a new high school built for roughly 2,200 students.
Shane McKay of East Central ISD updated the council on district milestones and new programs. He said Valor Middle School held a ribbon cutting, and the district celebrated its largest graduating class of 824 students this year, with 98% graduating college, career, or military ready. The district reported 2,191 dual‑credit hours earned, 550 Alampromise scholars (full tuition at Alamo Community Colleges), 219 students in ROTC, 662 in FFA, and multiple new career‑focused programs including cyber security certification pathways with UTSA and a drone‑pilot program.
When asked about capacity, McKay said the current high school enrollment is just over 3,500 students and the new high school under construction is being built for roughly 2,000–2,200 students; district officials anticipate a third high school in six to seven years with continued population growth. “This year was our largest graduating class of 824 graduates,” McKay said.
