Trinidad “Trini” Garza was the first Hispanic

Trinidad “Trini” Garza was the first Hispanic person elected to the Dallas Independent School District's Board of Trustees. Garza has also served as Deputy Regional Director of the Department of Education during the Pres. Bill Clinton administration, and in 2010, Trinidad “Trini” Garza Early College High School was dedicated in his honor.
