Weslaco ISD celebrates student wins from robotics to powerlifting and Special Olympics
Summary
Trustees recognized students and groups for recent achievements: robotics state fair placements, UIL orchestra superior ratings, the Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show, culinary and Green Power USA racing victories, Academic All‑State honors and state powerlifting medals. Principals and parents were asked to come forward for photos and recognition.
The board paused routine business to recognize a string of student accomplishments across the district. Presenters singled out Landon Rodriguez (second place, state engineering science fair junior robotics), middle‑school orchestras that earned superior ratings (historic for the district), culinary arts champions, Green Power USA racing teams now ranked nationally, Academic All‑State athletes, state powerlifting winners and Special Olympians who won gold medals.
Administrators invited parents and principals to be recognized and to pose for photos. Trustee comments praised staff, coaches and families for their roles in student success and noted the connection between extracurricular opportunity and broader student engagement reflected in attendance gains on several campuses.
