More than 80 seniors graduated Wednesday evening from Garza Independence High School, with 98 percent having been accepted to either a two- or four- year university.

The school's namesake, Gonzalo Garza, addressed the graduates and their friends and families at the Frank Erwin Center.

"Words cannot express how proud I am of all of you," he said. "You are, by every definition of the word, a success."

Members of the graduating class has been offered more than $1 million in college scholarships.

Garza students have contributed to their community with the Academic Society monthly volunteer projects, the Garza Canned Food Drive an the Christmas gift collection.

Congratulations to all the Garza Griffins in the Class of 2015!
