United Independent School District’s League of United ISD Legends Awards Dinner was held on the evening of March 7, 2019, at the Altezza Events Ballroom. The annual gala celebrates alumni who have achieved success and made outstanding contributions to their professions and communities. This year, 36 alumni from United, Alexander, United South, and L.B.J. high school were honored by UISD Trustees, Superintendent Roberto J. Santos, administrators, and family members. The evening's proceedings began with a splendid dinner, which was followed by an introduction of this year's inductee. Each received a crystal award to commemorate the occasion. Musical entertainment was provided by the fabulous Clark Middle School Mariachi Del Norte, directed by Gilbert Cuellar, Michelle Uribe, and Carlos Gil. The celebration continued on the morning of March 8, when the alumni visited their high school alma maters for a homecoming celebration hosted by staff and students. The alumni also shared anecdotes and answered student questions about their educational backgrounds and career paths. All nominees were selected by special committees based on career advancement, service to the community, and humanitarian deeds.
