Adriana Rodriguez is exactly the type of student Pharr-San Juan-Alamo North High School likes to talk about.
Rodriguez, a senior, moved to Pharr from Monterrey, N.L., at age 15 not speaking any English. Now, she is about to graduate with enough Advanced Placement and dual-credit courses under her belt to enroll as a junior in the fall at the University of Texas-Pan American.
“Many people told me it was impossible (to complete high-level courses) because I did not speak the language,” Rodriguez said. “Yesterday, college was a dream. Now it is a reality.”
