Officials from Guinness World Records presented the certificate to the school at an assembly on Tuesday.
"I'm really, really impressed with this school, with the pride, with the way that you all came together, not just as a school, but as a community. All of you come together to accomplish this major, major goal," said SAISD Interim Superintendent, Sylvester Perez.
Teachers say they used the tamalada to teach students about business, math, culture and teamwork.
