Eighteen Texas Southmost College students were inducted into the College's Alpha Mu Chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society on May 9, 2017 during a solemn induction ceremony at the college's Science Engineering and Technology Building (SETB).

Established in 1918, Phi Theta Kappa is an international honor society of two-year colleges that serves to recognize and encourage academic achievement of two-year college students. It provides opportunities for individual growth and development through honors, leadership and service programming.

With their proud parents watching, four students were present for the ceremonies that included opening remarks by Dr. Angelica Fuentes, Dean of Preparatory Studies, and remarks by guest speaker Scott Nelson, Interim Dean of Health Professions.

Established in 1918, today Phi Theta Kappa is the largest honor society with more than 2.5 million members and 1,275 chapters located in 50 United States, U.S. Territories, Canada, Germany, Peru, the British Virgin Islands, the Republic of Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the United Arab Emirates.

Inducted into the Alpha Mu Chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society were Perla Chavez, Yelena cisneros, Deborah Contreras, Diana Cortez, Kacie Evans, Patricio Gallegos, Yessenia Garza-Rodriguez, Valerie Godines, Jaqueline Hernandez, Jose Enrique Montoya, Antonio Noyola, Janet Peña, Aurora reyes, Samuel Rivera, Michelle Said, Edgar Sosa Leal, Matthew Sosa, and Jorge Treviño.

Congratulation, Mr. Montoya - I am assuming he is your son. Encourage him to seek his path in the right direction he has already selected. More parents should do this, and for certain, this world will improve at some time. Kudos to you and your family.

He probably went to a private school or an ISD other than BISD. I doubt you would register him in a School District you despise so much.

Mr. Montoya, it is quite obvious and now supported by blogger at 10:49
that you despise BISD. Is it really that, or is it those that pay you to downgrade our school district. Strangely enough, those who do are BISD alumni who would be no place if they had not received an education from BISD. Like your relative, many of our students are super neat and intelligent, but personal agendas and innuendos keep blasting our district. If they don't like it, let them go to wherever they want, but don't knock down our BISD where many of us have received our great
education and reached success, like your relative. Be objective when listening to what bloggers, including me, submit to your blog, true is the adage that "money talks," right?

Juanito, what happened to the blog that was here before where you blasted the Inaugural Awards Gala BISD had on Thursday night. I guess you determined you had spoken too soon and so wrong. I guess what those two ladies disrespectfully texting during this beautiful event, gave you a very biased side of the story. When you see a group of alumni, stakeholders, community partners in one place and have such a rewarding event, it stifles my mind when you immediately listen to those who are so obviously power vultures. If they hate BISD so much, why do they work there or serve on the board and why do they even bother to come to its great events - a bunch of hypocrites. It is people like these that we need to ignore, especially during election time, for it is all about them. I bet they were burning after hearing all the good comments made by so many people who enjoyed the event and saw the proud faces of those students who were awarded. Please, Juan, be selective of those items you publish in your blog and stick to the real facts.

We never had this kind of quiet, dignified membership recognition under Juliet Garcia's UTB who was about ego-recognition and grandstanding. Good going TSC!
