On Saturday, October 22, 2011, the San Benito CISD dedicated this eco-friendly school facility in memory of Angela Gerusa Leal. Serving as Master of Ceremonies, school principal Manuel Cruz introduced various school administrators and members of the Gerusa and Leal families.

Christopher Collins, Intern Architect at  Mata*Garcia Architects spoke about the architectural design concept used for the school and how the facility will serve as a teaching tool as well.
  
The Gerusa Leal family and the San Benito CISD both presented moving video presentations of Angela Gerusa Leals life story. Poignant home movies of Mrs. Leal with her family were a highlight of the ceremony.
