Texas: Governor Abbott, AT&T Deliver 150 Laptops To Los Fresnos CISD Students

~ In a celebration of 150 years of communications innovation, Governor Greg Abbott joined forces with AT&T to distribute laptops to students in the Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District (CISD) today.

The event, held at Los Fresnos High School, was attended by several notable figures including Senator Adam Hinojosa, Representative Janie Lopez, and Los Fresnos CISD Education Foundation Chair Adan Garcia. Also present were AT&T Texas division President Leslie Ward and AT&T South Texas division Vice President Adrian Quintanilla.

During his speech, Governor Abbott emphasized the importance of career and technical education for students' future success. "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," he stated. "Over the past two years, we've invested $7 billion in career and technical education, knowing how important that is for our students."

AT&T South Region President Leslie Ward also spoke at the event, highlighting the company's role in connecting people and businesses for the past 150 years. "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," she said.
