TBEC Rolls Out The 2008 Honor Roll
Too often, recognizing our public schools for academic achievement takes a back seat to winning championships on the athletic field. Also too often, the media seems to headline any event that has a negative slant, while rarely showcasing our many outstanding schools and their accomplishments.  Mims Elementary celebrates it's Ninth Straight Honor Roll Award The Texas Business & Education Coalition (TBEC) Honor Roll recognizes schools for academic performance, and honors those students, teachers, principals, and superintendents who have won their championships in the classroom. There are various ways for a school to be recognized for academic performance. In some cases the school must apply for the award, such as the “No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon” award. Others, such as the Texas Education Agency's Gold Performance Acknowledgements and accountability rating system, recognize achievement in a specific subject area or for improvement over the preceding year.

TBEC is committed to helping all students develop a purpose for staying in school. Education is for learning, earning, and living. The research on students who identify career interest in middle school and develop 4,-6,- or 8-year educational plans related to their career interest indicates they are more successful in school, college, and the workplace than students who do not develop education and career plans. Nowhere is that more evident than in the Rio Grande Valley. Under the leadership of Executive Director, Pat Bubb, Tech Prep of the Rio Grande Valley (TPRGV) is doing its part in producing college and workforce ready students with the knowledge and skills to drive the state’s economy in the 21st century.
