As of 2019[update] the Presidio High School rocketry club consistently won competitions against schools from wealthier, urban communities. A Texas Monthly article in 2019 covered the club. A Filipina teacher named Shella Condino established the club after taking a job at Presidio High in 2006; the club began operations in 2008.[2]
Demographics
As of 2019[update] more than 50% of the students are classified as English as a second language, and 93% may have school lunches at a reduced or at no cost - the latter is used as a proxy for being economically disadvantaged.[2]
