Today the Edinburg School District did their part in celebrating the Edinburg Centennial. Television personality, Dina Herrera Garza, led today's celebratory event. Our host was the superintendent of schools, Gilberto Garza, Jr. I joined a small group of local dignitaries in congratulating our school district's involvement in the history of Edinburg.
A "Did You Know" presentation of historical facts was given by the high school student councils' Presidents. April Gomez from Edinburg High School, Samantha Valdez from Edinburg North High School, and Eduardo Gonzalez from Johnny Economedes High School gave the audience a historical presentation on our community's history.
We also heard the finalists from the Edinburg Centennial 5th Grade Essay Contest. The finalists included: Brianna C. McCormick, Freddy Gonzalez Elementary (honorable mention); Jean Almonte, Guerra Elementary (honorable mention); Brooke Baus, Canterbury Elementary (1st place); Julissa Alexandra Mendoza (2nd place), Esparza Elementary and Kiana Ramirez, Travis Elementary (3rd place).
