During its statewide trek that included the Capitol in Austin and more, Texas Tech’s Centennial Tour made two special stops in North Texas March 16. Wylie ISD received two of only three visits to North Texas high schools by the mobile billboard tour.

To promote the university’s 100th birthday, the mobile billboard first stopped by Wylie High School and then ventured over to Wylie East. As part of Tech’s recruiting and outreach, Wylie ISD juniors and seniors were treated to a special visit by Texas Tech University President Lawrence Schovanec, who spoke about the advantages of being a Red Raider.

“There’s something special going on at Tech,” Schovanec said. “You have to be on campus to feel it. To be a Red Raider is to be a part of the family.”

You can read more about the Tech Centennial Tour visit to Wylie ISD by reading the full story on our website.
