THSOA Stimulates Scientific Education
The Hydrographic Society of America donated USD5,000 to Holbrook Elementary in the Cypress-Fairbanks ISD district in order to help further education in the Math & Science Department.
Doing so, according to Houston Chapter Chairman Rick Hagen THSOA gives something back to the community as this school not only deserved but needed this donation the most.
In 2007, according to the Houston Chronicle, there were 846 students enrolled at Holbrook. 57.3% are Hispanic, 29.7% are African-American, 10.3% are Caucasian, 2.6% are Asian and 0.1% are Native American. Out of the 846 students enrolled 77.7% came from low income households.
