Laredo, TX, May 23, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Larriette Alumni Association Awards Record-Breaking $10,000 in Scholarships at 2025 Graduation Celebration
The Larriette Alumni Association hosted its annual graduation celebration on May 20 at the Falcon Event Center, honoring the Larriette Class of 2025 and awarding a unprecedented $10,000 in scholarships to two standout seniors.
With over 75 guests in attendance—including parents, alumni, United High School staff, and proud supporters — the evening was a heartfelt celebration of legacy, leadership, and the lasting impact of the Larriette experience.
The party was held not only to award scholarships, but to honor all 11 graduating seniors as they officially transition from team members to Larriette Legacies—joining a powerful network of alumni of 300+ women, spanning over 53 years. Each senior was celebrated for her achievements, spirit, and the lasting contributions made to the Larriette tradition.
This marked the fourth annual scholarship presentation by the alumni-led nonprofit, which is made up of over 53 years of Larriette Legacies. The association’s mission centers on providing support and funding for select graduating Larriettes who embody the team’s long-standing values of discipline, excellence, and service.
