Governor Greg Abbott joined AT&T on Mar. 11 to distribute laptops to graduating seniors at Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District. The event marked the donation of 150 computers, a collaboration between AT&T, Compudopt, and the Los Fresnos CISD Education Foundation.
The initiative aims to support students as they prepare for college or enter the workforce. According to Abbott, “The reason why we’re here is because 150 seniors have demonstrated that they’re either ready to go to college or ready to go straight into a career. Over the past two years, we’ve invested $7 billion in career and technical education, knowing how important that is for our students, for their future. We are going to be handing out laptops to 150 seniors, seniors who have demonstrated the brand of excellence you are able to achieve here in the state of Texas.”
AT&T South Region President Leslie Ward said, “We are honored to join Governor Abbott today in Los Fresnos to put 150 computers in the hands of local high school students and celebrate 150 years of communications innovation. What began with a single phone call in 1876 has become a way of life – and AT&T has been there every step of the way at the forefront of connecting people and businesses. We cannot predict what the next 150 years will bring, but we do know this: whatever comes next, we’ll be the ones connecting you to it.”
Los Fresnos CISD Education Foundation Chair Adan Garcia added, “The Los Fresnos CISD Education Foundation is where dreams meet determination. Our vision is a district where every individual’s aspirations are met with unparalleled support, and today’s laptop distribution is a great example of how we can support local students. We appreciate Governor Abbott, AT&T, and Compudopt for their support of Los Fresno students and for the 150 years of innovation that brings us here today.”
Abbott was joined by Senator Adam Hinojosa, Representative Janie Lopez, Adan Garcia from Los Fresnos CISD Education Foundation, Leslie Ward from AT&T Texas division, and Adrian Quintanilla from AT&T South Texas division.
