Despite the weather, Harris County Department of Education leaders were in attendance to support the Lone Star College Foundation’s 31st annual Drive for Scholarships Golf Tournament. HCDE and Choice Partners served as sponsors in the event, held Nov. 18 at The Woodlands Country Club. 

HCDE sponsored a team in the golf tournament. Participants included Superintendent James Colbert Jr.; Dr. CJ Rodgers, assistant superintendent of education and enrichment; Jonathan Parker, assistant superintendent for academic and support services; and Jeff Drury, Choice Partners senior director. 

Through these local partnerships, HCDE is able to support Harris County students and educators through district sponsorships, innovative campus grants, school supplies in classrooms and scholarships for graduating seniors. Additionally, funds that flow from Choice Partners, a national purchasing cooperative, supply services to area school districts and the surrounding community.
