Thank you to Principal Ritchie and all of the Clint High School students who were able to join us!

“The. Majestic Mission Trail”

December marked the premiere of the County’s “Majestic Mission Trail” marketing video at the Alamo Drafthouse.

Thank you to all of the Mission Trail residents, business owners and community members that joined us for the screening!
