Join Us in Thanking State of the Schools Luncheon Sponsors

Support from generous sponsors makes HISD’s annual State of the Schools Luncheon possible. It also benefits the district’s educational programs, because a portion of the proceeds from the event helps the HISD Foundation. The nonprofit HISD Foundation generates private support for districtwide priority projects that enhance the learning environment for students and teachers and the ability of the district to better serve the community.

The sponsorship levels for 2010 were Title ($10,000), Gold ($5,000), Silver ($2,500), Valedictorian ($1,500), and Salutatorian ($800). This year’s State of the Schools Luncheon sponsors are listed below, and their commitment to HISD and its students is deeply appreciated.
