The Laredo Independent School District Athletic Department is raising the bar once again as it gears up for a dynamic and inspiring new school year! Today’s annual Coaches Convocation, held at the Vidal M. Treviño Magnet School, set the tone for excellence and elevating traditions. Special guest Raul “Tinker” Villarreal energized the crowd with a powerful and motivational message, reminding our coaches of the vital role they play in shaping student-athletes on and off the field. Attendees also gained valuable insights from local media sportscasters and received key updates to prepare for the year ahead. As LISD continues to LEVEL UP, this convocation marks a crucial step in ensuring our teams, coaches, and programs are ready to thrive in what promises to be an action-packed and successful school year.
