Farias Elementary School, Hermelinda Ochoa Elementary School, and Honore Ligarde Elementary School. Mrs. Treviño will always be remembered and deeply respected for her unwavering dedication to her students. Through her passion and guidance, she enriched countless lives and helped shape students who became community leaders. Her legacy lives on in every life she touched.
