City of San Angelo

San Angelo Chamber of Commerce

Welcome to San Angelo—a community defined by its heritage, people, and future.

We stand at a pivotal moment. San Angelo is experiencing thoughtful growth and meaningful investment that will shape our city for the next 20 years and beyond. What makes that growth special is not just the opportunity—it’s the way we approach it: with intention, integrity, and a commitment to doing things the right way.

This is a pro-family, pro-business, and pro-opportunity community. We value hard work, strong relationships, and a shared belief that when we invest in each other, we all move forward. Whether this is your first visit or you’ve been here many times before, San Angelo has a way of leaving a lasting impression.

Our quality of life is both authentic and energizing. From the Concho River and Lake Nasworthy to our vibrant arts scene, live music, and expanding culinary offerings, this is a place where people don’t just pass through—they put down roots. We respect our traditions, but we are equally focused on what comes next. As part of that commitment, voters recently supported a $41 million bond to renovate and modernize the San Angelo Coliseum, reinforcing our dedication to enhancing entertainment venues and community gathering spaces.

Education is at the core of our future. The San Angelo ISD 2025 bond initiative reflects our commitment to the next generation.

Howard College continues to provide accessible, workforce-driven education, and Angelo State University stands as a cornerstone of innovation, talent development, and regional growth.

For those considering investment, the message is simple: San Angelo is open for business. This is a place where ideas take hold, partnerships are built, and long-term success is achievable. The momentum here is real, and those who engage today will play a role in shaping tomorrow.

San Angelo isn’t just a place you visit—it’s a place you choose. On behalf of our community, welcome. I invite you to experience what makes San Angelo special and to see why so many are proud to call it home.

Dear New Friends and Neighbors, Welcome to San Angelo, one of Texas's best-kept secrets and, for those of us fortunate enough to call it home, one of its finest communities.

Our community is home to a thriving economy anchored by healthcare, education, energy, agriculture, and a growing entrepreneurial spirit. Angelo State University, Howard College, and San Angelo ISD provide outstanding educational opportunities from kindergarten through higher education, cultivating the talent and workforce that keep our community strong.

History Located along the banks of the Concho River in West Texas, San Angelo has a rich history shaped by military beginnings, ranching traditions, and steady economic growth. Known today as the “Oasis of West Texas,” the city blends historic charm with modern development while maintaining strong ties to its frontier roots.

The history of San Angelo dates back to 1867, when Fort Concho was established by the United States Army following the Civil War. The fort was built to protect settlers and trade routes from conflicts on the Texas frontier. Soldiers stationed at Fort Concho helped secure the region and encouraged settlement in the surrounding area. Over time, merchants, ranchers, and families began building homes and businesses near the military post.

The community that developed nearby was first called Santa Angela, reportedly named after the wife or sister-in-law of one of the town’s founders, Bartholomew DeWitt. Due to a clerical error on official documents, the name eventually became San Angelo, and the updated version remained. By the late 1800s,

502 S. Koenigheim St., Ste. 1B, San Angelo, TX 76903

the city had become an important center for cattle ranching and wool production. Large sheep ranches across West Texas helped San Angelo earn the title “Wool Capital of the World.”

The arrival of the railroad in the 1880s brought rapid growth and connected San Angelo to larger markets throughout Texas and beyond. Businesses expanded, new residents arrived, and the local economy diversified. Agriculture, banking, and trade became key industries, helping the city develop into a regional hub for commerce and services.

Today, remnants of San Angelo’s early history can still be seen throughout the community. Fort Concho has been preserved as a National Historic Landmark and serves as one of the city’s most popular attractions.

Historic downtown buildings, museums, and cultural sites continue to celebrate the city’s western heritage.

Modern San Angelo is also recognized for education, healthcare, and the arts. Institutions such as Angelo State University contribute to the city’s growth and cultural identity. While the city has evolved significantly since its frontier days, San Angelo continues to honor the history and pioneering spirit that shaped its foundation.

Located across the river from Fort Concho, Block One of San Angelo’s historic Concho Avenue was home to the first merchants in the Concho Valley and the stone buildings they built that still stand tall today. Block One remains a hub for shopping, retail and restaurants to this day. Stop by and shop local at some of the stores or grab a bite to eat while appreciating the unique architectures of Block One.

The Cactus Hotel The historic 15 story Cactus Hotel remains the tallest building in San Angelo and can be seen for miles on the eastern side of town. The Cactus Hotel was opened by Conrad Hilton in May of 1929, right before the Great Depression, which was not an ideal time to open a grand hotel. By the mid-1930s Hilton was out of the hotel business in San Angelo. New

owners replaced the name “Hilton” on the hotel’s rooftop electric sign with “Hotel Cactus,” The Crystal Ballroom continues to host many of San Angelo’s most important events.

Concho Pearl Statue From the waters of the North Concho River she rises, arm outstretched, hair flowing back, and neck angled toward the sky as she admires the rare treasure in her hand. Since June 11, 1994, the “Pearl of the Conchos” mermaid has captured the attention of passersby near Celebration Bridge as she holds her open oyster with encased jewel. In her hand is the sculpted Concho Pearl, which can only be found in the fresh waters around San Angelo. Unlike traditional round white pearls, Concho pearls are each different, irregular shapes and come in varying shades of pink and lavender. Concho pearls can be found at several local jewelers in San Angelo and are a beautifully rare treat to behold.

Farmers Market The Concho Valley Farmers Market is a true farmers market, according to Margie Jackson, president of the Concho Valley Farmers Market. "That's what makes us the best farmers market in Texas," she said. "In San Angelo we are all about the produce - not arts and crafts."

The vendors, who come from a 75-mile radius around San Angelo, sell locally grown seasonal fruits, vegetables and plants from 7am until sell out (typically by noon) each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday thereafter until the first fall freeze.

There are about 38 booths, but at the peak of summer as many as 60 sellers crowd into the area. Vendors bring a wide variety of items for people to purchase.

“Sometimes we'll get 50 people all looking for tomatoes. Sometimes it's corn or melons they're asking for," Margie said. "Usually we have so much produce we have to pick every other day, so people can find us there every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday."

Customers can often find $1 bundles for bowls and produce. In the fall they have larger $2-$6 bags so that people can "put it up, buy it for canning or freezing or fill their baskets," Margie said. "Around the last part of November, when we know there's a freeze coming, we go out and pick everything clean the bushes off, then sell our produce one last time."

Fort Concho Experience living history at the oldest site in San Angelo - historic Fort Concho! Established in 1867, along the banks of the Concho River, Fort Concho was built to protect frontier settlements, patrol and map the vast West Texas region and quell hostile threats in the area and served as regimental headquarters for some of the most famous frontier units. Today, Fort Concho National Historic Landmark encompasses most of the former army post and includes 24 original and restored fort structures. Fort Concho is owned and operated by the City of San Angelo.

The International Waterlily Collection Founded by Ken Landon, the International Waterlily Collection has been highlighting natural beauty to San Angelo for more than three decades. Displayed in six pools for the public’s enjoyment, the waterlilies are changed annually with flowering season from April through October. In September, during the height of the blooming, the collection is celebrated with the Lily Fest. As one of the world’s foremost waterlily collections, the garden contains hybrids and old favorites, as well as fun for all who visit the collection.

Lone Wolf Bridge Fabricated in 1922, this 152-foot-long pedestrian truss bridge spans the Concho River and has a unique history that can be traced back to the 1880s. Originally built in 1888, the bridge is home to many tales of paranormal activity and unusual occurrences.

Theories about the bridge’s haunting range from 1930s flood victims revisiting the bridge to the spirit of a Kiowa/Apache chief whose son was killed in a battle with Fort Concho calvary also haunting the bridge. In more recent times the Lone Wolf Bridge has become home to a seven-foot-tall red metal heart with a keyhole in its center adorned with engraved locks placed by local couples. The piece was donated

by Art in Uncommon Places, a local nonprofit dedicated to art. The Leadership San Angelo Class of 43 is cleaning up and restoring Lone Wolf Bridge as their community project. They are painting the concrete sides after graffiti has prevented the public and families from being able to enjoy it.

Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue Mark and Amy Meyers started the Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue as a backyard hobby over two decades ago and has turned into the largest rescue of its kind in the world. The Meyers still stay involved in the day-to-day operations of the Rescue but they also manage a large staff that ensure the well-being of the over 3,000 donkeys under their direct care. Under the Meyers’ direction, Peaceful Valley has grown to the largest rescue of its kind with facilities across the United States, but is headquartered right here in San Angelo, Texas. The Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue’s main rescue and rehabilitation facility is located on a 172-acre former dairy in San Angelo and is home to around 1,000 donkeys at any given time.

Sheep Statues Once known as the "Wool and Mohair Capital of the World," San Angelo has been a top producer of wool since the 1930s. Prior to the drought of 2011 that resulted in a decline in Texas sheep, the Concho Valley produced over 1 million pounds of wool annually. In 2007, local nonprofit Downtown San Angelo, Inc. created the Sheep Spectacular. The Sheep Spectacular serves as an homage to the city’s rich heritage.

Rambouillet sheep have become a symbol for San Angelo and now grace businesses across San Angelo in the form of a colorful and creative fiberglass herd, all painted by local artists. Each sheep is unique to the business it is in or around. Along with distinctive colors and patterns, the sheep are also known by their punny names such as Wild ‘n Wooly, Sheep Justice “Ewenice” and My Mail to “Ewe”/Ewe’ve Got Mail.

San Angelo’s Business & Industrial Park offers a strong case for industrial growth, combining shovel-ready land, certified development readiness, and strategic access to key Texas freight corridors.

A Strategic Address for Growth Located on the Ports-to-Plains Corridor and the future I-27, San Angelo’s Business & Industrial Park is centrally positioned between I-10 and I-20, with direct access to U.S. 67 and U.S. 277 and proximity to U.S. 87.

That location gives manufacturers, logistics firms, and distributors a practical West Texas hub for moving products, reaching markets, and supporting regional operations.

20 OASIS MAGAZINE

Ready for Industry The park includes a 685-acre master plan, with Phase II adding 118 acres of shovel-ready sites, while more than 700 acres are available in a variety of development parcels. The site is also AEP-Quality Site certified as a “Super Park” and designated industrial development-ready by McCallum Sweeney Consultants, with due diligence already completed.

Built to Support Expansion • Shovel-ready industrial sites available now.

• More than 700 acres with flexible parcel options.

• AEP “Super Park” certification signals readiness and reduced risk.

• Excellent highway positioning between I-10 & I-20.

• Manufacturing-friendly zoning and development flexibility.

• Robust utility infrastructure for industrial users.

• Access to rail, airport assets, and Gulf por connections strengthens logistics potential.

San Angelo’s Business & Industrial Park is more than available land. It is a certified, infrastructure-rich business environment designed to help companies launch, expand, and invest with confidence in a community committed to long-term economic growth.

San Angelo Regional Manufacturer's Alliance WWW.SARMA.US The San Angelo Chamber EDD supports specific industry sector recruitment marketing through its regional industrial manufacturer and energy sector advocacy organization – the San Angelo Regional Manufacturers Alliance (SARMA) program. The members of the SARMA provide invaluable industry intelligence to the San Angelo Chamber and COSADC staff by assisting with the mission of growing their

enterprises by collaboration with suppliers and complimentary industrial companies. The links created by these constant interactions with our industrial community has provided positive results in the form of new jobs, company expansions, capital investment and the development of supply chain transportation and facility infrastructure. The San Angelo Chamber EDD approach to economic development is based on the practice and philosophy of supporting local manufacturing and industrial services first, known within the economic development industry as “Economic Gardening.” This practice, through our SARMA program, connects the Chamber team with local industry leaders to create pathways to providing solutions to growth challenges.

Industry retention and expansion is a primary goal. San Angelo’s incumbent and newly recruited industrial enterprises need consistent support with facility upgrades and expansion to meet market demands. The Chamber directly supports and funds industry workforce training programs through our Cornerstone Fund Program. The combination of these efforts has led to the recruitment of new industrial enterprises, mainly with those operations seeking to join the Economic Clustering effect created by these efforts.

EDD Area Stats

• The total economic impact (new dollars from outside the region on local economy) of Chamber Economic Development projects in CY 2022 equaled $28.7M, and in CY 2023 equaled $38.4M • San Angelo has witnessed a 14.0% increase in manufacturing jobs (400+) since 2017 (same as inception of San Angelo Regional Manufacturers Alliance) • San Angelo has benefitted from a 48.6% increase in manufacturing sales tax revenue since 2017 • San Angelo industrial production index has increased 10.7% since 2017 • Quality of Life - “The San Angelo metro area boasts the enviable combination of belowaverage living costs and a high quality of life.

Concho Valley Technology Alliance The Concho Valley Technology Alliance is helping shape the future of technology education and collaboration in West Texas by creating opportunities for community members to learn, connect and grow together.

Focused on providing technology skills, education, networking, and shared resources, the nonprofit organization has quickly become a valuable hub for innovation and workforce development across the Concho Valley region.

Officially established as a nonprofit organization at the end of 2025, the alliance was created with a mission to lead, teach, assist, collaborate and facilitate discussions with community members,

universities, businesses, and local partners in order to strengthen the region as a premier technology influencer.

Since its launch, the organization has already made a significant impact through educational programs, networking opportunities, and community partnerships.

The organization provides a vendor-neutral environment where individuals from different industries and skill levels can come together to exchange ideas, build relationships, and learn about emerging technologies. Through tech meetups, classes, workshops and social events, the alliance encourages collaboration while helping local citizens improve their technology knowledge and career opportunities.

Over the past few years, the group has hosted and participated in a variety of community-focused initiatives. These include an artificial intelligence roundtable at Howard College, cybersecurity classes, technology networking mixers, collaborations with Angelo State University during Cyber Roundups and student networking events, and volunteer support for Cyber Patriot camps. The organization has also participated in the West Texas Legislative Summit and hosted technical training sessions such as networking and cabling classes at Elite Solutions.

Looking ahead, the alliance is focused on two major community goals. The first is creating a technology scholarship fund designed to help individuals pursue technology-related degrees, certifications, and continuing education opportunities.

The second is establishing a mobile community technology lab that would bring hands-on learning opportunities, equipment, and mentorship directly to citizens in the region.

Momentum for these initiatives grew significantly after the alliance participated in San Angelo Gives for the first time on May 5, 2026. The organization exceeded its fundraising goal during the communitywide giving event and is now moving into the next phase of developing both the scholarship fund and mobile technology lab.

Additional future plans include hosting a Ham Radio Club class, and developing an autonomous trucking workshop focused on helping the community and first responders better understand emerging freight and transportation technologies and their evolving real-world impact.

Through these efforts and many more planned initiatives, the Concho Valley Technology Alliance continues working to ensure the region remains connected, educated and prepared for the evolving technology landscape.

rail port serving the San Angelo business community will be a significant enhancement to the regional commodity producers, commodity consumers, energy industries, manufacturing operations and other industrial sectors. The San Angelo Rail Port provides a regional community logistics and distribution center for consumer goods such as shipping containers, bulk agricultural products, chemicals, steel, aggregates and construction materials.

INTERNATIONAL & NATIONAL FREIGHT CONNECTIONS

The Chamber has worked with Texas Pacifico Railroad (TXPF) throughout 2021 to encourage the opening of the International Rail Bridge at Presidio, Texas on the Mexico US border. The completed rail bridge is expected to open for service within the next year. The TXPF railroad is a Class 3, 391-mile line that runs from Coleman, Texas to Presidio, Texas. The route creates a direct link between the Ferromex rail freight network and the BNSF rail network throughout the United States.

Farm & Agriculture Agriculture, whether it is raising cotton, wheat or grain sorghum, cattle, sheep or goats, developed as an economic mainstay for the Concho Valley with the founding of San Angelo in 1867. Since then, the agriculture industry has changed with the addition of processing, storage and distribution facilities, vertical supply channels, implement dealers and specialized crop and livestock production, marketing and financing consultants and other service providers. All these entities have changed and evolved with the dramatic and rapid adoption of new technologies, changing consumer preferences and challenging economic conditions.

Though the Concho Valley is considered the sheep and goat capital of the U.S., cow-calf and stocker

operations generate considerably more revenue for the Concho Valley. Beef production is second only to cotton production with $128.1 million in annual sales in the Concho Valley. Collectively, livestock operations generate another $202.7 million in annual sales and $284.4 million in regional economic output. Texas is the largest sheep producer in the U.S. with 15% of the domestic ewe flock (445,000 head). Only California, Wyoming and Utah have more sheep than the 13 counties that comprise the Concho Valley.

Goodfellow Air Force Base Goodfellow Air Force Base, located in San Angelo, is home to the 17th Training Wing. Its mission is to train mission-ready Airmen, joint service members, and allies with foundational intelligence and fire-protection capabilities for multi-domain success.

Goodfellow AFB also supports four geographically separated units to include linguist training with the 517th Training Group, located at the Presidio of Monterey in California. According to the Texas Comptroller Goodfellow AFB contributed at least $3 billion to the Texas economy in 2023 and provided employment for 12,064 personnel with a gross domestic product of $1.8 billion and a disposable personal income of almost $800,000.

Back before Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt began a program of preparedness that included the construction of pilot training facilities.

Civic leaders from San Angelo immediately recommended their community to the War Department.

A generous offer of electrical service, railroad spur, sewer system and a 50-year lease on 640 acres at

$1 per year easily decided the issue. Over more than 85 years the base’s mission has shifted from pilot training to intelligence training and later adding fire protection and special instruments. Goodfellow AFB today trains every armed service in signals intelligence and fire protection. Graduates from the 17th Training Wing not only join the fight, they shape it and play a vital role in the United States Air Forces ability to provide airpower, anytime, anywhere.

The base is vital to and greatly beloved by area residents and strongly contributes to San Angelo’s quality of life. The base hosts annual events like Santa’s Market each November, which is open to the public, and allows the base to showcase its out-sized impact on national security through mission showcases for the attendees. These brave men and women help make San Angelo and the world a better place to live!

At any given time, there are over 7,000 military, civilians and their family members on the installation that also engage in our schools, neighborhoods, congregations and businesses.

The First Goodfellow 1ST LT. JOHN J. GOODFELLOW, JR. MAY 17, 1895 – SEPTEMBER 17, 1918

After graduating from San Angelo High School in 1913, where he played football and the trombone, John Goodfellow, Jr. took a job with the Lone Star Gas Company in Fort Worth. He then studied civil engineering at The University of Texas.

He left to become an infantry officer but soon developed an interest in aviation.

Graduating ground school in Austin and flying school in San Diego, CA, Goodfellow was commissioned as a second lieutenant in February 1918 and shipped immediately to England as an observation pilot with the 24th Aero Squadron.

On July 22nd his squadron transferred to France. Following additional training at St. Maixent and Ourches, the squadron attached to the First Army Observation Group at Gondreville on August 22nd in preparation for a major American offensive.

The offensive commenced on September 12th with the objective of reducing the German salient near St. Mihiel in N.E. France. On the 12th and 13th, the squadron conducted visual reconnaissance in the area of Thiaucourt, reporting the successful progress of the attack. Additional sorties on the 14th kept the German front under constant observation while six missions attempted deep reconnaissance of German movements behind the front, near Metz.

Goodfellow and his observer, 1st Lt. Elliot M. Durant, Jr., failed to return after one of these deep reconnaissance missions. According to one eyewitness, at least five enemy aircraft engaged Goodfellow’s Salmson 2A-2 reconnaissance plane, shooting away one wing and downing the aircraft after a furious dogfight. Three days later, Goodfellow’s remains were recovered at the crash site and later interred at the St. Mihiel American Military Cemetery near Nancy, France.

Housing San Angelo’s housing market continues to grow as more buyers discover the advantages of living in a city that offers affordability, space, and a strong sense of community. One of the biggest factors driving interest in the area is the increasing number of new-build neighborhoods and custom home opportunities available throughout the city and surrounding areas.

Several developing neighborhoods in southwest San Angelo have become especially popular among families and professionals looking for modern homes with updated amenities. Areas such as Twin Oaks Addition, Buffalo Heights, Southland, and The Meridian subdivision are seeing continued residential growth with newly constructed homes featuring open floor plans, energy-efficient systems, large lots, and contemporary finishes.

Southwest San Angelo remains one of the city’s

fastest-growing areas because of its proximity to shopping, dining, schools, and Loop 306. Twin Oaks Addition has become particularly attractive for buyers seeking newer construction in a suburban-style setting while still being close to city conveniences.

Buildable floor plans in the community currently begin around the mid-$400,000 range and feature spacious layouts and upgraded amenities.

Outside the city limits, developments in Wall ISD are also attracting attention from homebuyers looking for larger properties and highly rated schools.

New construction in communities such as Stonewall Range offers modern homes with larger lots and easy access to San Angelo employment centers while maintaining a quieter, rural atmosphere.

Many buyers are drawn to San Angelo because the city still offers opportunities for semi-custom and custom-built homes at prices significantly lower than

"My overall experience in San Angelo has been meaningful and formative. Living and studying here allowed me to grow both personally and academically. The city offered a close knit community that made it easier to build connections with classmates, professors, and local residents. That sense of community helped me feel supported throughout my academic journey.

San Angelo also gave me the opportunity to engage with my studies beyond the classroom. The slower pace and smaller scale of the city encouraged focus, reflection, and balance, which were important during demanding semesters. Being part of the community helped me develop independence and resilience, while also teaching me the value of collaboration and service." - Current Resident

"San Angelo is a friendly and welcoming town in West Texas. Coming from a big city in South Texas, this change has been a big one but overall so great and beneficial. The vibes around town are more open and the people are so much more inviting. The schools are clean and safe. I feel safe walking around the town and downtown, even at night and early morning. There are many local restaurants so the town is not saturated with fast food chains and for a small town like this, it has a good many options.

There are local places to have fun with your family and a whole shopping center dedicated to bowling, arcade games, movies, etc. In this town, I have never been homesick for where I grew up. I feel welcome and part of the community. It's clean when you drive around there is no trash or litter, even in the busy or less financially fortunate areas. The parks around town are amazing and offer cultural exhibits and activities. The international lily pond and river is so beautiful and well-kept." - Current Resident "Good family friendly areas. Great community around the University. Many different work environments for students to apply at." - Visitor via Niche.com

FUTURE-READY BEGINS HERE

At San Angelo ISD, Future-Ready Begins Here.

Our mission is to engage all students in a relevant and inspiring education that produces future-ready graduates. Every day, across every campus, we focus on preparing students with the skills, knowledge, and experiences they need to succeed in college, careers, military service, and life—no matter the path they choose.

Future readiness is not a single program or moment. It is a journey that begins early and is supported at every stage of learning.

WHAT DOES A FUTURE-READY GRADUATE LOOK LIKE?

Leading organizations and employers are seeking creative individuals who can collaborate, think critically, and communicate effectively. At San Angelo ISD, our goal is to ensure graduates are prepared for postsecondary success by building these essential

34 OASIS MAGAZINE

skills alongside a strong foundation in literacy, mathematics, history, and science.

These skills are defined in our Future-Ready Learner Profile, which represents the goals we have for all students: Communicator – Express ideas clearly and respectfully, build positive relationships, and communicate effectively in a variety of settings.

Collaborator – Work productively with others, seek diverse perspectives, and contribute to shared goals.

Critical Thinker – Analyze challenges, reflect on learning, and apply problem-solving skills to real-world situations.

Creator – Ask thoughtful questions, think creatively, adapt to change, and learn through innovation and experience.

A FUTURE-READY JOURNEY: FROM BIRTH TO GRADUATION AND BEYOND

At San Angelo ISD, future readiness is a lifelong journey. Preparing students to be future-ready means meeting them where they are and supporting them as they grow. From the earliest years through graduation—and even beyond—we work alongside students and families to ensure support at every stage of learning and transition.

EARLY CHILDHOOD: BUILDING THE FOUNDATION

Future-ready learning begins early. Through Tiny

Texans Child Care Center, we serve children as young as 6 weeks old in a safe, caring environment that encourages exploration and development.

Eligible students continue through full-day Pre-K, including bilingual options, with additional support through partnerships with Head Start and Early Head Start—building strong foundations for long-term success.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: GROWING SKILLS AND CONFIDENCE

In elementary school, students build strong academic foundations while developing curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning. Alongside core instruction in literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies, students engage in STEM, fine arts, physical education, and library experiences. Gifted and Talented services provide depth and complexity for students ready for additional depth and complexity.

MIDDLE SCHOOL: EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES AND CHOICE

Middle school is a time of exploration. Students personalize their learning through electives such as art, band, choir, orchestra, and STEM while continuing strong core instruction. Honors and advanced courses provide rigorous learning experiences, including opportunities to earn high school credit. Students are also introduced to career pathways, helping them explore interests and begin thinking about future possibilities.

BEYOND GRADUATION: SUPPORTING ADULT TRANSITIONS

San Angelo ISD’s commitment to future readiness extends beyond high school. The BRIDGE Program supports young adults with disabilities as they transition to independent adult life through hands-on learning, vocational experiences, and community partnerships that build confidence and real-world skills.

HIGH SCHOOL: PERSONALIZED PATHWAYS TO THE FUTURE

High school is where students begin shaping their individual path. Along with core academic coursework, students have access to a wide range of electives and Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses that allow them to explore interests and prepare for what comes next. Students can personalize their experience through advanced academics, fine arts, athletics, leadership opportunities, and CTE pathways aligned to college and career goals.

Many students have opportunities to earn college credit or industry certifications, gaining real-world experience and a head start on postsecondary plans.

CAREER & TECHNICAL EDUCATION: REAL-WORLD LEARNING WITH REAL-WORLD IMPACT

Career and Technical Education is a cornerstone of how San Angelo ISD prepares students to be future-ready. Through rigorous, hands-on instruction, students connect classroom learning to real-world application—developing both technical expertise and essential professional skills.

San Angelo ISD offers 18 Programs of Study across 12 career clusters, providing pathways in fields such as agriculture, health sciences, business and entrepreneurship, engineering, construction, culinary arts, programming and software development, welding, automotive technology, and more. These programs align with high-skill, high-wage, and in-demand careers in Texas.

Students may earn technical dual credit through Howard College, with coursework appearing on both high school and college transcripts. Many also graduate with state-approved industry certifications and licensures—entering the workforce with credentials in hand.

Through internships, certifications, student leadership organizations, and real-world problem solving, CTE students gain not only knowledge, but confidence, experience, and a competitive edge for whatever path they pursue next.

When someone you love struggles with dementia, Parkinson’s or another form of cognitive or physical impairment, it can be a tremendous challenge to communicate and find ways to help him or her discover pleasure in the world.

Personalized music can bridge the gap and enable you to reconnect with one another.

Grounded in extensive neuroscience research, our work with hundreds of individuals in care facilities has shown that many people benefit profoundly from hearing their favorite songs that tap fond memories. Here are some outcomes you or your loved one may experience: Someone who has been silent or less communicative may begin to talk and become more social.

Someone who feels sad or depressed may feel happier.

Someone who has been less mobile may become more physically active.

Each Individual’s response is unique, but chances are good that he or she will have more pleasure in life again and that you will gain a peaceful, relaxing way to renew your friendship.

Music & Memory is all about bringing joy into the lives of people suffering from forms of dementia and a wide range of cognitive and physical impairments.

MEETING WEST TEXAS'S GROWING HEALTHCARE NEEDS

The Shannon Health System continues to expand healthcare access and specialized services throughout San Angelo and West Texas through major investments in cancer care, behavioral health, women’s services and telemedicine programs.

Opened in November 2023, the Shannon Cancer Center at 131 E. Beauregard Ave. was designed to meet the region’s growing demand for advanced cancer treatment.

The state-of-the-art facility offers comprehensive oncology services in one location and features 28 outpatient chemotherapy stations equipped with personal entertainment systems, two Image-Guided Linear Accelerators, an on-site pharmacy, patient education resources and clinical and financial navigation services. Supportive care services, including social work and registered dietitians, are also available to assist patients and families throughout treatment.

Shannon’s cancer program provides patients in San Angelo and the surrounding communities with access to medical oncology, radiation oncology and supportive care close to home. The center was recently recognized by Vision RT as a tattoo and mark-free radiation treatment facility, the only program of its kind in West Texas.

Using Surface-Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT), the system tracks a patient’s position through advanced surface imaging technology rather than permanent tattoos traditionally used during radiation treatment. The technology improves precision, increases patient comfort and automatically pauses treatment if movement occurs, helping ensure accurate radiation delivery. Shannon physicians and oncology specialists also work closely with patients to create personalized treatment plans tailored to each diagnosis and stage of care. The center’s modern design was created to provide a calming and supportive environment for patients and their families during treatment and recovery.

Behavioral health services have also expanded with the addition of Shannon River Crest Hospital to the Shannon Health System. River Crest Hospital provides psychiatric and addiction treatment services for adults, adolescents and children and also serves military members and veterans. The facility currently operates 80 acute psychiatric beds, and Shannon plans future expansion projects that will add additional beds and modernize the hospital’s equipment and technology. Shannon leaders identified behavioral healthcare as one of the region’s greatest healthcare needs and continue working to increase access to specialized mental health services across West Texas. The hospital’s programs focus on crisis stabilization, inpatient psychiatric care, addiction recovery and long-term behavioral health support for patients of all ages.

Shannon Women’s & Children’s Hospital remains an important resource for families throughout the Concho Valley. Since opening in 1995, the facility has provided specialized services including labor and delivery, women’s surgery, inpatient pediatric care and neonatal services. The hospital also offers a Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and a Child Life Program designed to support children and families during hospitalization. Experienced physicians, nurses and specialists provide compassionate care focused on the health and well-being of both mother and child. The facility continues to utilize advanced medical technology and patient-centered care practices to support growing families throughout every stage of life.

In addition to its hospital services, Shannon continues to expand healthcare access through its School Telehealth Program. The program allows students to connect with Shannon Pediatric Clinic providers directly from a school nurse’s office using secure video technology. Physicians can evaluate symptoms, prescribe medications when necessary and provide convenient care while minimizing time away from school and work for families. The innovative program helps improve access to pediatric healthcare for students across the region while reducing unnecessary emergency room and urgent care visits.

Railway Museum of San Angelo SANANGELORAILWAY.ORG While trains are no longer a common sight in San Angelo, the city owes much of its early history to the railroad. In 1888 the Santa Fe Railway company brought much needed railway access to San Angelo, providing a gateway for supplies, livestock, and oil to flow in and out of the region. Without the influence of the railway, it is safe to say that San Angelo would not be what it is today. The Santa Fe Depot now

serves as a railway museum that is open to the public on Saturdays. The Railway Museum of San Angelo has several exhibits on display including the depot itself, a decommissioned train engine, railroad artifacts detailing over a century of history, model railroad displays and a photo gallery.

Since 1986, the popular Toyota ShareLunker program has partnered with anglers to enhance bass fishing in Texas. Anglers who catch trophy-sized, largemouth bass are encouraged to share their catch with Texas Parks and Wildlife for breeding and restocking of the state’s waters. In March 2018, Austin Terry of San Angelo bagged a trophy bass weighing 13.40 lbs. and measuring 25 3/4 inches at Twin Buttes Reservoir.

Hunting With its wide-open spaces and rangeland, San Angelo has its share of wildlife, including whitetail deer, wild hogs, doves, and turkeys. Hunters can draw hunts at several private venues, San Angelo State managed lands, and San Angelo State Park. San Angelo State Park has approximately 7.063 acres for regular and special permits. Angelo State University rangeland has a deer density of one deer for every 15-20 acres and a ratio of one buck for every one to two does. The range is maintained with brush control reseeding and prescribed burns for improved habitat.
