South TX Educator Earns Top 10 Global Finish in Next Top Speaker Tournament After Sharing Raymondville High School Story
During the tournament, Clinton shared the Raymondville High School turnaround story, a transformational effort in 2010 that united teachers, support staff, parents, students, and the community to rebuild safety, trust, and academic success at one of the toughest campuses in Texas.
The story struck a deep chord with the global audience.
One fellow competitor said, “Benjamin, your voice and charisma captivated me from the first moment. We need more of you in every school around the world.” — Adriana Carballo, Tournament Speaker
Another audience member added, “Your story was beautiful and inspiring, and your storytelling was incredible. It was an honor to hear your powerful speech.” — Elena Chovancak, Attendee
Clinton said the recognition belongs to the entire community that lived the story with him.
“I may have stood on the stage, but the real heroes of the Raymondville turnaround were the teachers, staff, parents, students, and the young men in my leadership group who showed more courage than they ever realized,” Clinton said. “I’m grateful that their story resonated with people across the world.”
Under Clinton’s leadership, Raymondville High School saw dramatic reductions in violence and dropout rates, significant academic gains, and a renewed sense of community pride.
