Mission High School Home

In addition to the TMEA Honor band results, UIL released their list of outstanding performers from the UIL State Wind Ensemble Festival. Only 16 bands were selected to perform at UT-Austin back in May. I already reported that we had 6 students earn their UIL State medals as outstanding soloists. What I found out today is that the judges only selected 16 total performers for this distinction from all bands and we were 6 of those 16 with no other school earning more than ours. Way to represent Eagles!

At the TMEA Area G Honor Band contest today, the Mission High School Wind Ensemble earned 5th place in a contest consisting of 6A high schools south of San Antonio. One of the 5 judges even placed MHS 1st place in their rankings. This is the first trip to the area round for any MCISD band in high school or junior high ever and to place this well is a great honor. MHS even placed above multiple bands that advanced to the UIL State Marching Band Contest this past Fall season, showing the level of growth our students have experienced this year. We can’t wait to get back to the grind in July and take the next step as a program representing our school district with pride. Way to go Mighty Eagle Band!

Our very own MHS Teacher going beyond the call of service for his community! Mr. Escamilla received one of the most prestigious awards from The International Rotary Club in part for his work in assisting MCISD in receiving the first Rotary Global Grant of over $50,000 in South Texas! The money will go towards assisting the MCISD F.A.R.M.E.R.S Program and teach students how to grow sustainable food systems in todays world. Go Eagles!
