Eldorado High School

I live in Italy Tx where my grandson has had the privilege of being coached by Craig Bales thru his high school years. My daughter works with Jennifer Bales at the school and have become close friends. I have had the pleasure of knowing their children, Kaytlyn, Kelton, Kaci and Kix the baby, whom I love dearly. The three older children are amazing, they are smart and talentened and just all around awesome children. It is with heavy heart that we are losing this wonderful Christian family and they will truly be a blessing and an asset to Eldorado High School. I know that this is a good thing for EISD and I trust that it will also be one for the Bales Family. God Bless Them!!! You will be missed.

I am a Student at EHS and the school program did go down for a couple of years but it is starting to build up again. It takes time for these things to happen, and it has been hard on a lot of us. The coaches do not run everything, we dont have any 'coaches wives' working here that are not qualified. EHS will be back to the way is used to, just give it time.

I went to school from kindergarten until I graduated from Eldorado in Eldorado, and I have to say that I loved my whole experience there. I had a great time and enjoyed all of my classmates and teachers. I think that it is a great school and would love for my kids to go there. Unfortunalty, I don't live there anymore, so my kids will be going to school in Abilen, which scares me to death. I know that they won't have the chance to be active in sports the way I got to. There is way to much compitition here. Small schools are much better to attend and the teachers remember you and have more time to spend with each student. Thank you Eldorado!

Until the last few years EHS had a great academic program. Until they let the coaches run the school. They have also hired coaches wives for teaching jobs for classes they are not really qualified for. I am glad my daughter is out of there as I think you will see a great drop in the academic program. The rules set for teachers do not apply to the coaches. They get by with anything just because they are coaches.
