Eastwood High School is a public high school in the Ysleta Independent School District the city of El Paso, Texas, United States. History. Eastwood High School, "Home of El Paso's Finest," is located in the city of El Paso, Texas. Eastwood opened in the Fall of 1961 and had its first graduating senior class in 1965. Today Eastwood High School has 400+ graduates annually. The school is in the Ysleta Independent School District. In 1976, Eastwood High School Troopers won the Class 4A (now 6A) State Championship in basketball as the underdog of the  state tourney, as of 2015 the feat has yet to be repeated by any other El Paso basketball team. The famed Trooper mascot is based on the Union Cavalry Soldiers during the American Civil War. Both the school and the cavalry units share the blue and gold color scheme. In 2013 the Texas UIL changed the realignments. As of 2014 Eastwood High School is now in the UIL 6A division and the only 6A high school in the Ysleta Independent School District. After the passage of a district wide renovation bond, the original 1965 Eastwood building was torn down and  is being replaced with a state of the art new 21st century school building. The cost of the building is estimated at $93 million and is set to be completed in August 2019. As a result of the reconstruction and decrease in capacity, Eastwood has seen a reduction in student population and will be realigned to compete in the 5-A U.I.L Division for 2018–2020.
