Students from Woodroe Petty Elementary, Ricardo L. Treviño Junior High School and Taft High School participated in the Christmas Tree Lighting this evening. Thank you to all of the students, staff and parents who helped to spread holiday cheer in our community! #TaftPride

Special thanks to Lightsource bp who visited all three campuses today with their "special guests!" They presented to students about the nearby solar farm and jobs that may be available to students in this field. Students also got to see their eco friendly "lawnmowers" who support their agrivoltaic endeavors.
