This dual credit partnership exemplifies the school's commitment to College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR), ensuring students graduate with tangible credentials and a head start on their post-secondary goals. The school's agriculture program stands as a testament to both tradition and innovation, with students competing successfully at the state level. This program honors the agricultural heritage of the region while incorporating modern agricultural science and technology. Community & Culture Pecos High School proudly serves a predominantly Hispanic community of over 12,000 residents, embracing the rich cultural heritage that defines West Texas. The Pecos Eagles soar high in extracurricular activities, with students consistently excelling across multiple areas of competition and performance. The school maintains strong ties to the community's renowned rodeo tradition, reflecting the authentic Western spirit that permeates campus life. The Eagle Advantage As home of the Pecos Eagles, this campus represents more than just a school—it's a launching pad for dreams and ambitions. Students benefit from small-town community support while accessing big-city educational opportunities. The combination of modern facilities, innovative programs, strong community partnerships, and dedicated faculty creates an environment where every student can spread their wings and soar toward their future. In the vast expanse of the Trans-Pecos region, Pecos High School stands as proof that excellence knows no geographic boundaries.
