Vidal Manuel Treviño (June 10, 1929 – December 30, 2006) was a longtime educator and a Democratic political powerhouse in Laredo, Texas, who served as the Laredo Independent School District (LISD) superintendent between 1973 and 1995. He also served a term in the Texas House of Representatives from then District 80 from 1961-1963.
Treviño was born in Sabinas Hidalgo, Nuevo León, Mexico, to Rufino Treviño and the former Marie de Jesus Villarreal. However, he grew up in heavily Hispanic Laredo, the seat of Webb County in south Texas, where his parents had moved when they first married. His mother traveled to Mexico for his birth, but the couple promptly returned to Laredo. He attended Laredo public schools and graduated from Martin High School. He obtained bachelor's and master's degrees in education from Texas A&I University in Kingsville. In 2001, Texas A&M International University in Laredo awarded Treviño an honorary doctorate.
