Ysleta High School
En 1929 se construyó la escuela preparatoria Ysleta siendo una de las preparatorias mas antiguas del Condado de El Paso y la primera construida por el Distrito Escolar de Ysleta para atender as las comunidades agrícolas de Valle Bajo. Diseñada por el reconocido estudio de arquitectos, Trost & Trost, el edifico consiste en ladrillos rojos en varios tonos, techo plano y una ornamentación de piedra moldeada. El edificio original de dos pisos tenia once aulas, salon de estudios y oficinas administrativas; sin embargo, y conforme al plan maestro de Henry Trost, se agregaron dos areas adicionales en 1937. En 1939 se construyo el estadio multiusos adyacente al plantel escolar, y el cual fue reconocido como uno de los mejores estadios en Texas durante la década de los cuarenta. Hasta 1957 la preparatoria Ysleta era la unica escuela preparatoria en Ysleta y hasta la fecha sigue cumpliendo con su misión de lograr la excelencia académica y espíritu comunitario.
