SAN JUAN, Texas –The Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District (PSJA ISD) celebrated the ribbon-cutting of the PSJA School & Community Wellness Complex on Wednesday, August 13, 2025.
The new facility represents PSJA ISD’s mission to promote active lifestyles and expand health and wellness initiatives for students, parents, and the broader community. In partnership with Hidalgo County Precinct 2, the complex features eight pickleball courts, a tennis court, and multiple outdoor fitness stations—providing accessible, high-quality spaces for exercise and recreation.
“We want our community, our staff, and our students to be healthy—because healthy minds bring the best to academics. What started as a vision has now come to fruition, and this facility will be something everybody can enjoy,” said PSJA Superintendent Dr. Alejandro Elias. “We are grateful with the partnership with Hidalgo County Precinct 2 Commissioner Eduardo Cantu who helped bring this project to life.”
PSJA ISD has earned the Healthier Texas Large District category making it the seven consecutive years the district has earned this honor. Earning the top spot reflects the commitment of our PSJA Family and members in our community have to health and wellness.
“The improvements PSJA has made are amazing. Just showing up and seeing people using the courts—even in over 100-degree weather—is beautiful,” said Hidalgo County Precinct 2 Commissioner Eduardo Cantu. “People are also using the Trail, the first multi-city trail in the Valley. It’s been great for the community, and I hope to do more projects like this.”
The new PSJA School & Community Wellness Complex will build on this success, offering year-round opportunities for residents to stay active, connect, and thrive. The facility is free and open to the public, and PSJA ISD welcomes the community to explore the complex and enjoy its wide variety of outdoor fitness amenities.
