Questionnaire: Arturo Dominguez for EPISD Board of Trustees
Arturo Dominguez.
-What relevant experience qualifies you to serve as a school board trustee?
I am a product of EPISD. I graduated from Irvin HS and then attended the University of Texas at El Paso (then known as Texas Western), where I was the first Mexican-American to earn a scholarship for the tennis team. I earned a Bachelor’s Degree and later two Master’s Degrees, all in education. Prior to that, I served in the armed forces, and was stationed overseas in Vietnam. Afterwards, I was a public school teacher for almost forty years, most of them at Irvin High School. I’ve always believed that service to others is the key to a happy and fulfilling life and my wife and I raised our sons the same way. Even after my retirement I have continued to serve my community by running after-school programs and volunteering at my parish church.
Sixty years ago, a tennis player at Irvin High School named Jackie Guadagnoli inspired other students in a big way. A superb student and championship tennis player from humble beginnings, she won every tennis tournament from Arizona to Texas during the 1960s. In 1965, she won the National Jaycee Championship for girls 16 and under and ranked #4 in the United States. In 1966, she won first place in the State of Texas 4A High School Championships in girls doubles and was named “El Paso Athlete of the Year” the next year. She received a full scholarship to Mary Baldwin College in Virginia, finishing her interscholastic career by leading the UTEP women’s tennis team. After going professional, she served as the tennis pro at the El Paso Country Club until an injury prompted her to enroll at NMSU. She earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology to help other people.
