Henry Cuellar

September 18, 2012
Last year, Congressman Cuellar announced a $42.9 million grant for Texas A&M; International University’s “Gear Up” Program – designed to follow and mentor 8000 7th graders across 19 school districts in South Texas until their first year of college in hopes of increasing higher graduation rates and the number of students entering college. Today, he joined those 8000 students for a pep rally to kick off “Gear Up.” Congressman Cuellar expressed his faith in the student's abilities and wished nothing but success for each of them.
