Dallas ISD schools named to the TBEC Honor Roll are:

• Irma Lerma Rangel Young Women's Leadership School
• School for the Talented and Gifted at Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Center
• School of Science and Engineering at Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Center
• Dallas Environmental Science Academy
• George Bannerman Dealey International Academy
• William B. Travis Academy for the Academically Talented and Gifted
• George Peabody Elementary School
• James B. Bonham Elementary School
• Lakewood Elementary School
• Stonewall Jackson Elementary School
• William B. Travis Vanguard for the Academically Talented and Gifted

The Honor Roll schools will be honored November 9 at an awards reception and dinner in San Antonio.
