Anthony Independent School District is proud to celebrate the graduation of 53

students from Anthony High School. The commencement ceremony was held May 29,

2025, at the Magoffin Auditorium on the campus of the University of Texas at El Paso.

This remarkable class broke a four-year record by collectively earning $3,009,957 in

scholarships.

Among the many accomplishments, graduating senior Jozef Nava was awarded the

Tommy Sanchez Scholarship. Other notable scholarships earned by students included

UTEP’s Excellence Scholarship and the “Keep Moving” Scholarship from the Texas

Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents (TALAS) El Paso Chapter.

“We are very proud of the Class of 2025,” said Anthony High School Principal Sandra

Espinoza.

“This class stood out due to their incredible involvement in extracurricular activities.

Many of them set a goal to reach the state level in their events, and they made it

happen. From band and colorguard to esports and UIL academics, our students not only

made it to state competitions, they placed in the top level. We are proud of every one of

them.”

Each year, the Mr. and Ms. Wildcat awards are given to students who exemplify

academic excellence and outstanding character during their time at Anthony High

School.

This year’s honorees are:

Mr. Wildcat: Esteban Mendoza

Ms. Wildcat: Itzazue Au Chavez

While the graduates have chosen various paths after graduation, many will attend local

universities such as New Mexico State University and The University of Texas at El Paso.

“Congratulations to the Class of 2025,” said Superintendent Dr. Oscar A. Troncoso.

“We are confident that the education they received at Anthony ISD has prepared them

for bright, adventurous futures. We couldn’t be prouder of their achievements and look

forward to seeing all they will accomplish.”

Anthony ISD proudly congratulates the Class of 2025 and extends its gratitude to the

teachers, staff and family who supported them along the way. Our students’ success is

a powerful reminder of what’s possible when a community rallies behind its students.
