WHEREAS, Spec. Rafael Hernando III Middle School in the
Socorro Independent School District has been named a recipient of
the Purple Star Campus Designation for the 2020-2021 school year by

Legislature hereby congratulate Spec. Rafael Hernando III Middle
School on receiving the 2020-2021 Purple Star Campus Designation
