The Uvalde Junior High School system began generating power on July 22, 1999. The system is rated at 4 kilowatts. Located 91 miles west of San Antonio, Uvalde's economy is based on agriculture and mineral production. The area is served by Southwest Texas Junior College, Sul Ross State University, and Texas A&M Research and Extension Center. Uvalde was first settled in 1853, and in 1855-56 was known as Encina, and was once the domain of notorious frontier sheriff and outlaw, J. King Fisher. A historical marker on Fisher and the graves of early settlers killed by Indians are in Pioneer Cemetery, located at 500 N. Park Street. Today, Uvalde is a retail center for extensive cattle, sheep and goat ranching, and also truck farming and honey production. Industries include vegetable packing and processing and garment making. The city is at the intersection of the nation's two longest highways, U.S. 90 and U.S. 83. The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District consists of 1,093 square miles in Uvalde, Real, and Zavala Counties. Located in the City of Uvalde are three secondary campuses: Uvalde High School, Uvalde Junior High School, and Excel Academy (formerly New Hope Learning Center); and five campuses for lower grades. The school in Batesville, 20 miles south of Uvalde, is part of Zavala County. The first school in Uvalde was developed about 1856, when the city of Uvalde was founded. Uvalde High School held its first graduation in 1891. In 1996, 227 students graduated from UHS and 28 graduated from New Hope Learning Center. The Batesville School opened in 1884. Their students now attend school in Batesville through 8th grade. Their high school students have attended UHS since 1949, but Batesville officially consolidated with Uvalde in 1973.
