Pasadena Independent School District

The Pasadena ISD Education Foundation recently hosted its annual Prize Parade, distributing over $213k in classroom funds to teachers. 

Six teams made up of members of the Pasadena ISD Board of Trustees, the Pasadena ISD Education Foundation, the district’s Athletics Hall of Fame committee, along with community members, alumni,  business representatives, district employees and students traveled to 34 of the district’s campuses to distribute the grants. 

The grants will be used to provide additional funding for classroom projects and learning tools such as musical instruments, library books, sculpting software, technology and more. 

Thanks to all of the generous sponsors and the Pasadena ISD Education Foundation for making this possible.
