Congratulations to the following GTF supported schools for receiving an exemplary rating from the Texas Education Agency:
KIPP Houston High School – GTF supported a college preparatory and support program, To (and Through) College, designed to ensure access to and success in college for low-income, underrepresented students.
Brownsville Early College High School – The foundation, in partnership with the Meadows Foundation, funded establishment of Brownsville Early College High School at the University of Texas at Brownsville in partnership with the Brownsville Independent School District. The project is intended to increase access to higher education for underserved and underrepresented students.
Mission Early College High School – Although not directly supporting the school, the foundation supported scholarships for 23 students who graduated early from Mission Early College High School to enroll in upper division studies at The University of Texas at El Paso in the students’ senior year of high school.
College Hills Elementary – The foundation funds BookTrust at College Hills Elementary, which provides $7 a month for each child to purchase books from the Scholastic Book Club Catalog. This program provides the opportunity for every student to choose and own their own books, an opportunity many students do not have.
