The person on the left is a woman with shoulder-length, light brown hair, glasses, and a black outfit. Her badge reads “Kalee” and “Eagle Pass ISD.” The person in the middle is taller, with short brown hair, wearing glasses, a dark blazer over a colorful, science-themed shirt, and a badge. The person on the right is a woman with long, dark brown hair, wearing a dark gray zip-up jacket with “ISD” embroidered on it, a teal top, and holding a book and a red bag. The background features a yellow wall with a framed picture and part of a banner visible.
