The
EHA Achievers are a group of outstanding resident students whose commitment and
dedication has led them to pursue a higher education. Whether they attend the University
of Texas Rio Grande Valley or universities in other parts of the state, these
students are passionate about making a difference in their communities and
helping their families out of poverty. Achievers are the role models of their
communities and we hope that they will encourage their peers to “achieve” and
strive for better futures.
