Twelve Texas school districts have been recognized for their outstanding programs with the release of Texas School Business magazine’s 17th Annual Bragging Rights 2023-24 special issue.

- Alamo Heights ISD, Senior and Grand Mules

- Belton ISD, Recharge Conference
- Caldwell ISD, CAP Fleet Upfitters

“Nominations for school district programs across Texas poured in this year, and each one deserves to be noticed,” says Texas School Business Editorial Director Dacia Rivers. “It’s our hope that the 12 districts we chose inspire others to follow in their footsteps. The mission of Texas School Business is to share the good news happening in Texas public schools, and there’s never a shortage of news-worthy school programs for us to cover.”
