CITGO, Nature Conservancy, Grand Isle State Park & Grand Isle School Help Restore Critical Barrier Island in Southeast Louisiana

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina seriously damaged the dune ridges of Grand Isle, a barrier island located in Jefferson Parish, and 10 years later, the damage caused by Katrina continues to jeopardize the beach.

CITGO and Harris County Sheriff’s Office Unite to Promote Attendance in County’s Schools

Nearly 10 percent of Houston Independent School District (ISD) students missed 18 or more days of school during the 2014 through 2015 school year, according to the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation – a problem compounded by the direct correlation between chronic absenteeism and low academic performance.
