Prize Posse Rides Through Town

For the 14th year in a row, the Prize Posse came to town, awarding grants to Humble ISD educators. At the end of the day, $265,000 was awarded to thirty-seven schools for 109 projects. A total of $842,938 was awarded to Humble ISD schools during the entire 2012-2013 school year. A record year of support from the Foundation! This wouldn't have been possible without the strong support in our community for our 37,000 students.
