La Joya High School

This past summer, a group of four friends created a clothing line. Through self-driven inspiration, these four young men decided to take matters into their own hands and started designing. It started from an idea on pencil and paper and turned it into a reality. “L05T 50UL5'' was created on August 20, 2022 by LJHS seniors Scott Jackson, Ernesto Rodriguez, Eduardo Espinosa, and Diego Mendoza. Co-founder Scott Jackson said, “We created this clothing line to express our own style and share it with others.” Designs of their merchandise are created at home and then sent to a manufacturer for printing.  Since its inception, they have sold over 150 different types of clothing.  Diego Mendoza credits Business Teacher Mr. Dagoberto Perez with helping them find websites that could help print their products with a faster turnaround.  In the future, they will be seeking financial backing from investors to help grow the business.  Though their end goal is not quite set, Eduardo Espinoza says “the sky's the limit”.
