Paso reached a notable milestone on January 19, 2011, with the
ribbon cutting for the new El Paso High School baseball and softball
athletic fields; and
WHEREAS, Located in Tom Lea Park, adjacent to the high

the El Paso Independent School District and the City of El Paso; the
initiative received additional assistance from the El Paso Water
Utilities Public Service Board; and
WHEREAS, Funding for the fields came from a bond proposal
approved by voters in 2003, and the $1.6 million facility will

Legislature hereby commemorate the opening of the new baseball and
softball athletic fields at El Paso High School and commend all
those who contributed to this worthwhile initiative; and, be it
