Senior Feature: Inspired by His Father’s Work, Pearce Senior Builds Path to UT Engineering

From watching his dad work hard on construction sites to a full ride to the University of Texas for civil engineering, Pearce High School senior Jose Patino’s journey has been shaped by determination and intentionality to build something that lasts. As a child of immigrants, his parents laid a strong foundation so he could embrace opportunities, earning admission to all 12 colleges he applied to while inspiring others along the way.
