Fifth Ward Enrichment Program

Class XI selected the Fifth Ward Enrichment Program (FWEP) as its class project. Class members held a career day for the FWEP students, primarily young, black males from Houston’s Fifth Ward, to expose these students to role models from a variety of occupations. The students visited class members’ places of business in order to see where an attorney, police officer, etc. work. The students were also given a bus tour of several local colleges. The final event was a banquet for the participants, their parents and the staff from FWEP.
