About Us
Ross Middle School has a very rich
history and an extremely diverse population of students. The
school was built in 1959 under the name Ross Middle but was changed
to Ross Junior High in the 1970s. In 1986, Ross returned to
being a middle school. In the years since, Ross has been
educating students who have chosen great careers. Here are a
few examples:
Estella Casas – KVIA News Anchor
Bill McAtee – CBS Sports Announcer
Colonel James J. Leech – Commander, William Beaumont Army Medical
Center
Norma Chavez – Texas State Representative
Dr. Lorraine O’Donnell – EPISD Board Member
The student body is comprised of a
cross section of society. We serve both our local community
and a large part of Ft. Bliss, including the Sergeant Major’s
Academy on Biggs Army Airfield. The military community is a
wonderful asset to our school. Our sponsoring unit (2-43 ADA)
supplies volunteers for tutoring and many school activities.
Ross Middle School is a microcosm of
the United States where all students have the opportunity to achieve
success both academically and in extra-curricular activities.
