                      CONGRATULATING AURORA GUZMAN

  (Ms. De La Cruz of Texas was recognized to address the House for 5 
minutes.)
  Ms. De La CRUZ. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Aurora 
Guzman from McAllen Memorial High School for being selected as a Texas 
Girls Coaches Association all-star player.
  A brilliant athlete and student, Aurora is known for her captivating 
energy on the court. Behind her success are years of hard work, 
sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to her sport.
  Aurora has shown true leadership, helping to elevate the Lady Mustang 
basketball team while earning recognition as a premier player in the 
region. She not only represents McAllen Memorial, but she also 
represents the entire Rio Grande Valley and every young athlete who 
dreams of playing on the big stage.
  I thank Aurora for representing south Texas with pride. I 
congratulate her on this prestigious honor. We wish her the best of 
luck next month at the TGCA all-star game.


                     Recognizing McCreery Aviation

  Ms. De La CRUZ. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize McCreery 
Aviation on 80 years of exceptional service in south Texas.

  Founded in 1946 by J.F. ``Mac'' McCreery, the company began as a 
small flight school following World War II. What started as one 
aircraft has grown into a premier, full-service aviation provider at 
McAllen International Airport, serving aircraft owners and 
international travelers across the region.
  Today, under the leadership of Mac's son, Bob McCreery, the company 
reflects the strength of the family-owned business built on hard work 
and commitment. Through high-quality maintenance, pilot training, and 
support for international trade, McCreery Aviation continues to play a 
vital role in our community.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate McCreery Aviation on eight decades of 
service. I wish them continued success for generations to come.


                         Recognizing Alice ISD

  Ms. De La CRUZ. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Alice ISD, 
the recipient of the 2026 Small School District title at the H-E-B 
Excellence in Education Awards.
  This milestone highlights the exceptional leadership, vision, and 
dedication shaping the future of the Alice community.
  With this award comes $50,000 in grant money for student-centered 
upgrades across six campuses. These funds will bring new changes, from 
an outdoor science classroom and digital marquees to transforming the 
Schallert Elementary Library into a modern workspace.
  None of this would be possible without the dedicated administrators, 
teachers, and support staff who lift their students up.
  I congratulate the superintendent, Dr. Anysia Trevino, the Board of 
Trustees, and the entire Alice ISD community on this grand achievement.
