On Tuesday morning, students, teachers, and faculty of Sam Houston Math, Science, and Technology Center High School, joined METRO and Avenue CDC to cut the ribbon on the newest student-designed bus shelter.
Those in attendance were treated to performances by the school's drumline, cheerleading, dance teams, and mariachi band. The Black Knights JROTC opened the ceremony with a presentation of the colors and the Pledge of Allegiance.
METRO Board Chair Sanjay Ramabhadran thanked partners for their role in the project — highlighting the importance of giving local youth the ability to make a difference in their neighborhoods. "What better way to empower our children than by allowing them to make positive real-world changes in their communities," said Ramabhadran.
