- Lupe Sotelo is a Del Rio native and a former student of the San Felipe ISD. He also taught at San Felipe Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District schools after consolidation, and went on to work as principal and superintendent in other communities in Texas. Mr. Sotelo talked about the encouragement of teachers at San Felipe and how he could have been considered an "at risk" student in his youth. The second half of the interview features Sotelo's interpretation of the events surrounding the consolidation of the school districts with the hindsight of having worked as an administrator later in his career.
