Mike García tuvo el honor de entregar la invocación en su forma bien elaborada de costumbre, con un enfoque en las metas académicas y los logros hasta ahora, donde recordó a los graduandos que no importa a dónde van, o lo que hagan, que siempre tienen a Dios con ellos, que lleven a Jesucristo con ellos, "Les pedimos vuestro Padre bendiciones para los que se marchan de aquí en el futuro cercano para velar por ellos y cuidar de ellos", ya que algún día regresarán a enriquecer aún más esta comunidad.
Fue entonces cuando el director Vale Moreno subió al podio para anunciar con orgullo los cinco mejores graduandos del curso de graduación de Eagle Pass High School of 2015: Carla Cristina Hernández, hija de Claudia e Ismael Hernández con un promedio de 103.1316, Marcelo Salinas, hijo de Aracely y Ernesto Salinas, con un promedio de 103.6512, Arian Raúl García, hijo de Carolina González y Rogelio García con un promedio de 103.9250, Salutatorian Hugo Cristian García, hijo de Laura y Hugo García con un promedio de 104.7619 y Valedictorian Noemi Ankara Tinajero, la hija de Lorena y Noe Tinajero con un promedio de 105.7500.
The Eagle Pass Chamber of Commerce held their annual May Community Breakfast which showcases, as most gracious emcee Claudia Rodriguez-Wright put it, 'the best of the best' of our 2015 classes of graduates.
Mike Garcia had the honor of delivering the invocation in his usual well-elaborated manner, with a focus on academic goals and achievements up to now where he reminded the grads that no matter where they go, or what they do, to always take God with them, to take Jesus Christ with them, "We ask your blessings Father for those who will be leaving us here in the near future to watch over them and take care of them," as they will one day return to further enrich this community.
