Latinos In Action

Latinos in Action (LIA) is a educational program dedicated to narrowing the graduation and opportunity gap for Latino youth. Latinos In Actions groups are found in middle schools, junior highs, and high schools across several states. Latinos In Action focuses on empowering students to become college-and-career-ready leaders who actively strengthen their communities. Teague students work tirelessly during Hispanic Heritage Month and put on a showcase at the end of the school year. These events show students cultures and traditions from their families and history.
