Merry Christmas from HCDE!

Students and staff at Academic and Behavior School East presented a “Polar Express” holiday program with hip-hop dances and musical acts. AB East is one of two schools that highly specialize in educational services for students ages 5-22 with emotional and academic special needs.

Academic and Behavior School West recently held their annual food and clothing drive. Students and staff delivered the collected items to Star of Hope and the Houston Food Bank on Dec. 14. Students learned the importance of giving back to the community and helping one another.
