RGV FOCUS

Our team has always embraced the "side by side" meaning of "contigo.” With that in mind, we will no longer use this account so we can collaborate with our @EducateTexas team & share our news with you on that Twitter account. You can still follow RGV FOCUS on Facebook and LinkedIn

Our US Program president @AllanGolston traveled down to the Rio Grande Valley to see first-hand the work our partner @RGVFOCUS is doing to measure student success, struggles, and more. What he found is inspiring: gates.ly/2Pf68oP

Excited to get my yearly update on the progress made in #RGVed with @RGVFOCUS and a community of invested partners. #TXed

Today at the @RGVFOCUS Annual Report luncheon, I learned 8th grade girls in the #RGV are outperforming students in the rest of the state in math and science. What careers and opportunities are waiting for them once they graduate? We owe it to them build better careers in STEM

Proud to continue our support for @RGVFOCUS and partners as they work to improve #RGVed! @GiveWisely
