Today, we are taking the time to say goodbye to one of our staff members as he starts a new chapter in his life. We would like to thank Mr. Vargas for being a part of our Winn/Memorial music staff for all these years. We look forward to see him grow as the Head Director of Eagle Pass HS. Although we don’t want to lose a staff member, it is only a normal part of life to see someone go out and get more out of life and he is seizing the moment. We would like to wish you, Mr. Vargas, the best of luck in your future endeavors.

This is our second staff member who has come out of our tree to become a head director. We have such an amazing staff as I know there will be more seeking a head director’s position and they will be ready for it! -Head Rod
