Brothers Andrew and Alex Camacho have taken the lead in a new eSports program at Calhoun High School. Starting a revolution in the formal academic setting. To raise awareness for their joint venture to give the eSports scene a proper place in the traditional school and colleges they have started circulating their own newspaper.
“It’s time to play to win.” said the brothers in their previous news blog for the school. The Idea had been in development since last year. The CCISD approved the addition in their meeting, back in December last year. The Camacho brothers, with the help of the Information Technology department, pitched the idea to the board.
The gaming community rejoiced at the addition of eSports in schools

Internet journalist and influencer drama reporter Jake Lucky shared a tweet reporting the recently launched newspaper service that the duo is planning to circulate. Other than raising awareness and notifying the followers about the latest updates in the program, the newspaper hopes to shed light on eSports as a viable sector in academics.
Jake said on Twitter, “Thought we could use some positive esports news for once. This is Andrew and his brother Alex, who recently made their local newspaper for starting an esports program at their local High School” featuring a shot from a piece on the newspaper. He also reported that the program will be offering, “students digital graphics and videography classes, and have student coached teams, student social media managers, casters and talent”

Huge W – eSports has so many great opportunities for employment/ socializing but it can be really hard to navigate on your own. Programs like these go a long way for growing the scene
