We are incredibly proud to announce that eight outstanding Gus Garcia YMLA students were honored last night at the Neighborhood Longhorns Program Scholarship Banquet for the 2024–25 school year! This prestigious celebration recognized more than 500 scholarship winners from across 12 AISD campuses—an inspiring reminder of the dedication, perseverance, and academic excellence demonstrated by students throughout our district.
Hosted at the DKR–Texas Memorial Stadium North End Zone Touchdown Club, the event brought together students, families, educators, and community partners for an unforgettable evening. Thanks to the support of Whataburger, guests enjoyed a delicious meal, and special appearances from the Silver Spurs and AISD Student-Athletes added excitement as they helped present medals to each honoree.
Our eight scholars shined brightly as they were individually recognized during the program, which highlighted their commitment to achievement and their participation in the Neighborhood Longhorns Program. We could not be more proud of their hard work and the positive example they set for their peers.
To our recipients—congratulations! Your accomplishments reflect the spirit and determination of the Gus Garcia YMLA community.
Thank you to everyone who showed up to support our students. Moments like these are even more meaningful when shared with the people who champion their success every day.
