Socorro High School counselor named finalist for Texas School Counselor of Year
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — A Socorro High School counselor has been named one of the six finalists in Texas for the annual School Counselor of the Year award, according to the Socorro Independent School District on Thursday, May 15.
Cristina Alvarez, a counselor from Socorro High School, is one of the six finalists for the 2025-2026 Lone Star State School Counselor Association Texas School Counselor of the Year award.
'I'm really humbled, and I love that I get to represent the hard work that my colleagues and I do at Socorro High School,' Alvarez said. 'It's not just me. There are eight of us (counselors at Socorro High School) and being a finalist lets me represent the work that we all do daily, serving our students with social and emotional support and academically.'
According to Socorro ISD, Alvarez has been a counselor for 11 years, including seven years with the school district.
Alvarez has been the counselor for the early college program at Socorro High School for three years, and prior to that, she was a counselor for Salvador H. Sanchez Middle School for four years, SISD said.
'I decided to move to the high school because of my students in middle school. I wanted to be the person that helped them, and they saw every day,' Alvarez said. 'It has been a privilege to see them grow in high school, earn their associate degree and then graduate from high school.'
Alvarez will participate in the interview process for the state award on May 21, SISD said.
Socorro ISD said the 2025-2026 Texas School Counselor of the Year will be announced at the end of May.

Hundreds run across iconic Mobile bridge to help Africatown
MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — An iconic bridge got some extra attention Saturday as hundreds of people jogged in the Africatown 7th Annual Bridge Challenge 5K. A flood of people powered through the starting line, hoofing their way around the corner and ultimately to the other side of the Cochrane–Africatown Bridge. 'I just think it's beautiful up here in the morning and just to go over the top of the city,' runner Tom Hoffman said. The run has turned into a tradition, with the highlight being a view that you can't quite get if you're driving over the bridge. 'You can see a lot of the ships out there and just the immediate surroundings. It's kind of therapeutic if you don't notice the traffic. But yeah, it's very beautiful up there,' runner Joseph Barrow said. The run raises money for the Africatown Community Development Corporation, which in turn spends it in the community through various projects aimed at helping the people who live here. 'It keeps our community going,' Thelma Owens with the Africatown Community Development Corporation said. 'It helps us to help our seniors, and if we've got our seniors and our children come, the children keep the community alive.' It's a long walk up and over the bridge to see the Mobile River from a new angle. 'All ages can roll from the babies in their moms' baby strollers to the oldest,' Owens said. The chance to see the city from this vantage point is not something most people can do safely without cones and police blocking a lane of traffic, a safe way to explore an iconic bridge outside of a car.
