For the third time, Stonewall Jackson Elementary has been named to Texas Business and Education Coalition's (TBEC) Honor Roll.   The 2009 TBEC Honor Roll recognizes 254 of the state's most outstanding public schools. Being named a TBEC Honor Roll school is the most prestigious academic award a Texas public school can achieve. The list represents less than 4% of all public schools in Texas.

The 2009 standards were by far the toughest in the 10-year history of the award. All schools were expected to improve their commended performance from 2008 and every school was required to have a minimum of 20% of students tested performing at the commended level on ALL tests for 2009.
