Summary

House Resolution 838 recognizes Loma Verde Elementary School in the Socorro Independent School District for receiving the Texas Purple Star Campus Designation for the 2020-2021 school year. This honor, established by the 86th Texas Legislature, is awarded to schools that satisfactorily address the needs of military-connected students and their families. Under the leadership of Principal Leslie Chavez, the school met various requirements, demonstrating its commitment to supporting this vital demographic within the community.
