Program
Art Ramirez and Shane Rackley presented an update of the HELP (Hammons Educational Leadership Program).

They have "Career Computers in 5 of the CCISD High Schools, on-site visits in the local businesses, where students get to interact with the local staff,and discuss about their job. Valero and other local businesses are among the Program supporters. They have one big fundraiser every year: Putting with your Politicians. This year, it will be held on Sept 24.
