Dogan Elementary Mentor and Tutor Program

Class XII incorporated several events to create one great program for the students at Dogan Elementary School, the parents and the surrounding community. Dogan Elementary was adopted because it was an inner city school without an identified business/ school partner. Class XII developed the following: mentoring and tutoring of students specifically for developing test taking skills; substitute teaching; establishment of a student council and school safety patrol; recreational field trips (rodeo, NASA, opera, attendance of an HSPVA performance); books for the library; T-shirts for the school to sell; and creation of a SPARK School Park with trees planted by Leadership Houston Class XII members. Because of the class’ efforts Texaco has adopted Dogan Elementary.
