I had the pleasure to attend the Inspiration award and check presentation today at Edinburg High School. Edinburg High School was selected as one of "three outstanding high schools that have successfully improved the academic environment and helped students achieve equitable access to higher education despite social, economic and cultural challenges have been named College Board 2008 Inspiration Award winners.
