A Letter From The Center Manager
Carta del Manejador  

Welcome, parents to John E. Uxer II Head Start!

It is our pleasure to serve you and your family this 2024-2025 school year! Our center, originally called Northeast Head Start Center in 1988, began with just two classrooms and expanded to nine. Named after Dr. John E. Uxer, the first Executive Director for ESC Region 19, it was surrounded by desert with no paved roads or traffic lights. Today, our campus has expanded to include four John E. Uxer Head Start and Early Head Start centers, and other facilities, but we still have the same magnificent view of the Franklin Mountains!

John E. Uxer II Head Start currently has ten classrooms serving 159 children and families. Our community has deep roots in Northeast El Paso, with several staff members who were former Head Start parents and many current parents who were once students here. We are excited to continue this journey with you and your child, offering innovative learning approaches. We are proud to be your partner in this educational adventure at John E. Uxer II Head Start.
