Within the last two years, Edinburg Academy has made some changes that
have have a positive effect on teachers and students alike. They have
adopted their own mascot, the white bengal tiger. They created a
basketball team and were allowed to compete against other schools. This
year, and the year prior, they worked hard to become district champs. In
order for these boys to play, they had to follow the no pass no play rule.
A couple of teachers started a chess club and taught students to play
chess and competed in chess tournaments.
Every week, teachers choose a student of the week where they proudly
