THSOA Donates $5,000 to Local Houston School

May 28, 2009 By Editor

HOUSTON, May 27, 2009 – The Hydrographic Society of America donated $5,000 to Holbrook Elementary in the Cypress-Fairbanks ISD district on May 21, 2009 in order to help further education in the Math & Science Department.


“I think we should be proud that THSOA and its Houston Chapter are giving something back to our community,” said Houston Chapter Chairman Rick Hagen.  “This school not only deserved but needed this donation the most.”

 

In 2007, according to the Houston Chronicle, there were 846 students enrolled at Holbrook.  57.3% are Hispanic, 29.7% are African-American, 10.3% are Caucasian, 2.6% are Asian and 0.1% are Native American. Out of the 846 students enrolled 77.7% came from low income households.

 

Individuals who would like to donate to Holbrook Elementary can do so by visiting the school website at http://schools.cfisd.net/holbrook/index.stm.
