Monte Alto Fire Department Receives Equipment

Commissioner Fuentes and Precinct 1 staff participated in several Back-to-School Drives throughout Precinct 1 in August. “I hope all our students have a safe and happy school year,” said Commissioner Fuentes. Hundreds of families attended the drives to receive school supplies and other goodies.

American Legion Boys State is among the most respected and selective educational programs of government instruction for high school students. It is a participatory program where each student becomes a part of the operation of his local, county, and state government.

Hidalgo County Pct.1 and Commissioner David L. Fuentes were honored to host the graduation ceremony at our Pct.1 Conference Center.

At American Legion Boys State, participants are exposed to the rights and privileges, the duties and the responsibilities, of a franchised citizen. The training is objective and practical, with city, county, and state governments operated by the students elected to the various offices. Commissioner met with these young men yesterday here at our Pct.1 Conference Center as he shared his experiences with Texas Boys State.

Congratulations to the Texas Boys State Graduates!
