Krizia A. Martinez, a proud graduate of Hanna ECHS – Class of 2009, graduated with a PhD in Physical Therapy from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas and passed the board exam in 2019. Krizia sent a message stating “Thank you to the wonderful teachers, counselors and administrators who made this possible by taking the time to mold eager minds. Thank you for inspiring me, giving me the tools to succeed and pushing all of us to be great. Where I have been and where I am now each has their own unique, beautiful stories but will never be able to give me what the valley did. Keep up the beautiful job and I hope that more students make the Rio Grande Valley proud!”
