Who is Ben Castillo?
Ben is a husband, a father of three, a son, a former Weslaco ISD teacher, an attorney and a proud member of our Weslaco community.
Out in Weslaco
Four years of experience on the board
- Our state accountability score has gone up every year since 2023, from 83 to 87, thanks to our students, teachers and staff. Weslaco High, Weslaco East and South Palm Gardens all earned an A.
- When financial concerns came up, Ben moved to bring in independent auditors and outside counsel. The report is public, because taxpayers deserve transparency.
- For Ben, serving on the school board is personal. With three children in our schools, he understands education from both sides of the classroom.
