Chamber Members present Texas Scholar Program to Weslaco ISD Students

A volunteer task force made up of Weslaco Chamber members will be dedicating one week in May to preparing the entire population of eighth grade students in the Weslaco Independent School District for high school and the years to come.

Texas Scholars Program is an initiative to help students focus on education and prepare them for the workforce. The program works to motivate students to excel and aim beyond minimum standards.

Becoming a Texas Scholar requires hard work and dedication. To graduate high school as a Texas Scholar, students must complete the recommended High School Program or the Distinguished Achievement Program, and complete at least two college credit courses.  Texas Scholars is chaired by Brad Bierstedt of Magic Valley Electric Coop.

If you are interested in being part of the program please call the Weslaco Area Chamber of Commerce at 968-2102.
