Zone B will feature schools such as Rio Grande City, Sigueroa High School, Palm View High School, Mission Veterans, and Roma High School.
In conclusion, the meeting provided essential updates on leadership changes and upcoming events, ensuring that the committee is prepared for a productive school year ahead. Further details on the high school play contest and other initiatives will be shared as the events approach.
