In honor of a very successful first day at band camp, The 2026 Big Blue Band presents: "The Crossroads of Texas"
The Crossroads of Texas begins in the heart of Texas, where the small town of Eden sits at the crossroads of Highways 87 and 83. From there, we head north through the rolling ranchlands, passing the waters of O.H. Ivie Lake and winding along Kickapoo Creek Road before the skyline of Dallas–Fort Worth rises on the horizon—eventually leading into the hustle and bustle of the big city. Turning southeast, the highways carry us through the towering pines and peaceful forests of East Texas, where the landscape grows taller and the road seems endless. Emerging onto the Gulf Coast, the vibe of our journey shifts into a lively adventure groove, capturing the energy, charm, and rich cultural influences of Coastal and South Texas. Our journey then bends west across the open plains and vast horizons of West Texas before finally returning to the familiar heart of the state. As the miles fade behind us, every road leads back to where it all began—The Crossroads of Eden, Texas.

Hey band! 🎼🎵🎶🎷🎺🥁
I hope everyone is having a relaxing summer. As always, it fly's by WAY too fast!
I am very much looking forward to seeing everyone NEXT MONDAY (Jul 20) for instrument checkout! This is for ALL BAND MEMBERS (including people with instruments already checked out over the summer). There will be just a little bit more to do then just instruments.
Below is our schedule for summer band, as well as for the year to come. If anything changes, you all will be the first the know!
Any questions can be directed to corey.dechaine@edencisd.net

As we approach the 2026-27 school year, now is the time to ensure that parents and athletes are in the correct SportsYou groups. We push out more details to SportYou than what we put on Facebook for privacy concerns.
If you need the code for a group - for instance, your JH student from last year is going into HS, or you are new to athletics (incoming 6th grade) - now is the time to ensure that you are in the correct group.
If you want to be removed from a group, or need a code to join a group, just email Coach Shelton (jeff.shelton@edencisd.net) and ask for the code you need or tell him the group you need to be removed from, and include the name of your child.
Thank you!

Hi Everyone,
Attached is the workout schedule for this week. We'll be short staffed on Thursday, so there won't be gym for the girls, only weight room from 6:30pm-7:15pm.
The UIL has new regulations regarding workouts in the heat, and as always, we will follow UIL rules - it will be one of the bigger changes we'll see this year, especially in August. Here is the link to the UIL guidelines:
https://www.uiltexas.org/health/info/2026-2027-heat-stress-athletic-participation-required-plan
One thing to help parents plan appointments on Mondays once schools starts: from August 3rd through Labor Day (September 7th), all Monday workouts will be finished no later than 11am. After that point, we'll take it on a week to week basis, but if the forecasted temperatures are low enough no practices on Mondays will begin before 3pm starting September 14th.
We will continue with no practices before 3pm for the rest of the school year. These policies will apply to both HS & JH practices.
We're looking forward to seeing everyone as we prepare for our upcoming school year!

We've had a couple of updates to our 2026 football schedule - our opponent has changed for week 5 & we've moved our week 11 JH football game into our bye week.

Congrats to Avery as he closed out his HS career at the Texas 6man Coaches Association All-Star game on Saturday afternoon in Wichita Falls! The East team did not win, but Avery represented Eden very well. Avery started for the East, got an opening steal, was a tremendous teammate and finished with his team's last 7 points. Good luck Avery in your future endeavors, and continue to #EarntheRight !
Congrats to Julian & Blake as they closed out their HS careers at the Texas 6man Coaches Association All-Star game tonight! The East team fell 20-54, but both young men represented Eden very well. Julian started on defense at Cornerback & Blake started on offense at Fullback. Good luck to you both in your future endeavors, and continue to #EarntheRight !
Good luck to Avery, who will play on the East (Red) team!
Good luck to Blake, who will play on the East (Red) team!

This week, Eden FCCLA had the incredible opportunity to attend the FCCLA June Leadership Camp! Our very own Hena,
FCCLA Region II Vice President of Records, and her adviser, Mrs. Tiffany Estrada, spent the week networking with region and state officers and advisers from across Texas, strengthening leadership skills, and helping plan upcoming regional and state meetings.
We are especially proud because Hena is Eden High School’s first Region Officer in several years. It takes courage to step out of your comfort zone, take on a leadership role, and try something new, and Hena has done just that. Her dedication, hard work, and willingness to lead are already making a positive impact. We are also grateful for the support, encouragement, and guidance of Mrs. Estrada, that helped make this opportunity possible.
We are excited to begin the new school year and can’t wait to serve the great state of Texas alongside all of the amazing friends and leaders we met this week. The future is bright for FCCLA, and we’re honored to be a part of it!
