Clear Creek Education Foundation Seeking Applications
For Outstanding Alumni Awards
The Clear Creek Education Foundation recently announced it is accepting applications for the foundation's Outstanding Alumni awards. Eligible applicants must be graduates of the Clear Creek Independent School District who have excelled in their chosen profession and have made significant contributions to their respective communities. Nominations must be submitted no later than August 1, 2010 to be considered for this year's award.
The selected honorees will be recognized at the Clear Creek Education Foundation's tenth annual "Reach for the Stars" gala November 6, 2010 at the San Luis in Galveston. The award was created in 2001 to both recognize outstanding alumni and to highlight the exceptional foundation the local school system is providing to prepare young people for lives of work and service. "The Foundation certainly wants to encourage people in our community and CCISD Alumni to help us find the best of our former students to honor," said Foundation board chairperson Lisa Holbrook.
In addition to recognizing outstanding alumni, the Foundation also honors individuals in our community who have provided outstanding volunteer service in the education and lives of students in Clear Creek ISD with the CCISD Superstar Award.
Last year’s Outstanding Alumni recipients were William Wohrer, Clear Creek High School class of 1972; Julie Kilgore-Baker, Clear Creek High School class of 1972; Dr. Robert Garza, Clear Creek High School class of 1987; and Dr. Kathy Jackson Schmidt, Clear Creek High School class of 1973. Last year's CCISD Superstars included Gloria Wong, Mary Alys Cherry from The Citizen, Jason Bailey from Perdue Brandon Fielder Collins & Mott and Congressman Pete Olsen. Dan Boggio, CEO of PBK Architects, was presented the George B. Carlisle Award.
