Delivering Dreams

The Galena Park ISD Education Foundation Prize
Posse was on a mission to deliver innovative teaching
grants to unsuspecting educators at various
campuses throughout the District this past fall.

Earlier in the year, GPISD educators had the
opportunity to apply for grants to fund innovative
instructional resources for their classrooms,
departments, or campuses. The Education
Foundation Grant Selection Committee carefully
considered each application and selected this year’s
recipients. Twelve grants totaling over $32,600 were
awarded to educators across 10 GPISD campuses.
North Shore Senior High School
The Education Foundation was created in 1998 by
Dr. Shirley J Neeley, former GPISD Superintendent of Schools and Texas Commissioner of
Education, to provide funds for educational programs and activities not traditionally funded by
the normal operating budget. These funds provide scholarships for students, educational grants,
and expand community involvement. Every donation to the Education Foundation counts
towards the betterment of education for the students of Galena Park ISD.
