KXAN (Austin): USTA / USTA Texas Serve Up $50,000 Grrant for Lago Vista ISD
Exciting news for the Lago Vista Independent School District (ISD) - the United States Tennis Association (USTA) and USTA Texas have joined forces to award the school district a generous grant of $50,000. This financial boost is set to make a significant impact, particularly in the realm of tennis. The focus of this grant is the ongoing construction of four brand-new tennis courts at Lago Vista High School, which will increase the school's total number of courts to an impressive eight. These courts are not just for the school's tennis teams; they serve as a hub for the local community and the broader tennis community as well.
