Cruz gave his address during Austin Ed Fund's "Inspire the Future" luncheon at the AISD Performing Arts Center.
The district's successes include launching Travis Early College High School, the third ECHS in the district; achieving the highest graduation rate ever, 86.3 percent; and, for the first time, every AISD high school meeting all academic standards set by the Texas Education Agency.
Archer Hadley, an Austin ISD student who helped increase accessibility for people with disabilities at Austin High School, has teamed up with Akins High School to bring the wheelchair challenge to the Eagles.
Hadley raised $87,000 in his first challenge at Austin High, resulting in five automatic doors and rain-resistant canopies for his own campus. Hadley developed the idea after he was stuck outside the high school in the rain. Each automatic door costs $6,000.
