Biography

eiMAPs was founded in 2012 by a groups of parents who were concerned about preserving the arts in the EISD. Unfortunately at that time, there were many budget cuts due to the tax cap, and as a result the arts were reduced. Through funding from groups, like eiMAPs, eiABC (the Athletic Booster Club), and FTK, we were able to reinstate some of our programs. FTK generously funded the High School and Middle School Musicals! Additionally, the newly formed eiMAPs was able to bring back both the MS & HS Jazz Bands and the Photography Club.

The following year, eiMAPs, was able to donate two large moveable art display boards for use by the entire school district. We also began a tradition of supporting our Tri-M groups. For example, we supply cake, snacks and beverages at their Induction ceremonies to help make it a special day.

Finally, in 2015, eiMAPs established a scholarship fund!! eiMAPs was very excited to be able to give out scholarships to five graduating seniors from the class of 2015, totaling $2500. We look forward to continuing to give out scholarships to graduating seniors for many years to come.
