Being named a TBEC Honor Roll school is the most prestigious academic award given in Texas. As TBEC's former Board Chairman, Jack Lowe puts it, “Schools get on our honor roll the old fashioned way; they earn it.”  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. TBEC identifies Honor Roll schools by analyzing three years of performance data for every public school in Texas. A TBEC Honor Roll school must have a high percentage of students meeting state standards on every TAKS test for three consecutive years. That's the easy part; TBEC Honor Roll schools also have the highest percentage of students performing at the state's most rigorous standard -commended- in every subject. The selection criteria also considers the school's demographics, number of subjects tested and grade levels. Compared to other schools with similar demographics, TBEC Honor Roll schools have demonstrated the highest levels of academic achievement year after year.
In November 2008, 298 outstanding schools were honored at TBEC’s 9th Annual Honor Roll Schools Celebration at the Grand Hyatt San Antonio. Following a half day of seminars for school attendees, the celebration kicked off with a reception followed by the awards dinner.
