In this article on the San Antonio Report, Harlandale School Board Trustee Norma Cavazos takes us on a journey to celebrate the power of community and the spirit of Kingsborough Ridge.
"Here on the South Side, preserving and celebrating our cultural wealth and recognizing the importance of imparting cultural awareness matters to the people who live here," she said. "By incorporating cultural experiences into the curriculum and promoting community involvement, Harlandale ISD nurtures well-rounded individuals who are not only academically prepared but also deeply connected to their roots."
