Congressional Service Award given to JISD grads

Staff Reports

Jefferson’s Michelle Brady and Luis Gomez were recently honored by Congressman Nathaniel Moran (R-TX-01) recognized as part of the inaugural class of Texas First Congressional Service Award recipients. 

The awards are made to students who have performed an act of service or sacrifice or have gone above and beyond in volunteerism or community service. This award honors the “unsung heroes” within a school or community and recognizes those who have shown selfless behavior, gone out of their way to serve others, and who exemplify the true spirit of Texas.

“I am honored to congratulate the inaugural class of recipients of the Texas First Congressional Service Award and to thank them for their humility, dedication, and selflessness,” said Moran. “As the first-ever awardees of this recognition, these students have displayed outstanding character, exemplifying the true spirit of Texas by shining a light of service and compassion to the world around us. I applaud these young people for going above and beyond to serve their schools, communities, state, and our great nation. May God bless these students and guide their future endeavors.”

The Texas First Congressional Service Award is not a scholarship, but rather a service award to recognize deserving students in the First Congressional District of Texas. Nominees should be one male and one female from each school, preferably at the junior or senior level. For more information or to make nominations, please email MoranStudentServices@mail.house.gov.
