Harris County Department of Education joins school districts across the state in January to thank the HCDE Board of Trustees for their commitment and contributions to the students of Harris County. This year’s campaign is “Helping Kids Soar to Success.”

“Our board members serve countless hours working to enhance education in Harris County,” said HCDE Superintendent James Colbert, Jr. “We thank them for providing vision and leadership for the Department.”

The Board of Trustees will be honored at a reception before the Jan. 24 board meeting. Board members to be honored include Louis Evans, president; Eric Dick, vice president; Erica Lee Carter, trustee; George Moore, trustee; Don Sumners, trustee; Diane Trautman, trustee; and Michael Wolfe, trustee.

Each January, the Texas Association of School Boards organizes the School Board Recognition Month campaign to focus on the crucial role an elected board of trustees plays in our communities and schools. For more information, visit https://goo.gl/ZfKLss.
