Description
The Board of Managers named Juan E. Cabrera superintendent of the El Paso Independent School District (EPISD) on Sept. 3, 2013. Immediately prior to joining EPISD, Cabrera worked as a school law attorney and served as general
counsel and advisor to Texas school districts. Under the guidance of the Board of Trustees and working with his leadership team, Cabrera seeks to provide all of EPISD's young scholars with an academically rigorous, character-based education, focusing on the “whole–child”. This approach seeks to assure EPISD graduates are not only academically prepared, but also well rounded, civic-minded young citizens. To this end in 2014, EPISD instituted a requirement of 15 hours of Community Service per semester for every high school student. Through this and other initiatives, EPISD seeks
to assure its students serve their local communities. Working with EPISD's dedicated teachers and administrators Cabrera seeks to drive innovation and create “schools of choice” and “great schools” across the city to assure every child is provided every opportunity to succeed.
