Edinburg – The Edinburg Rotary Club recently recognized the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District’s Athletics Department during its luncheon meeting at the Echo Hotel in Edinburg.
“These student-athletes are the brightest future that we have and that’s the product that we try to emulate across the board,” ECISD Athletics Director Rogelio “Roy” Garza said. “It’s great to hear their speeches and what athletics has meant to them.”
