The El Paso Independent School District (EPISD) serves

60,000 students on 94 Texas campuses. Many EPISD

students come from economically disadvantaged

backgrounds. EPISD’s PowerUp program is integrating

technology in a carefully designed initiative to engage and

empower learners. EPISD recently distributed HP Stream

Notebook PCs to 18,000 high school students.
