Leadership Houston Learning Lab at Felix Cook, Jr. Elementary

Located in Houston’s Fifth Ward, Felix Cook, Jr. Elementary School is on the Texas Education Agency (TEA) Improvement Required (IR) list. The campus and surrounding community were severely impacted by Hurricane Harvey, and several students at the school are struggling to read at grade-appropriate reading levels.

As the "Best Class Ever", LH Class XXXVII developed the Leadership Houston Learning Lab at Felix Cook, Jr. Elementary School. The lab is equipped with computers, furniture and appropriate reading materials for below grade level readers. The project also encompasses upgraded classroom facilities for better instruction that creates intentional, curated programming towards stimulating literacy.
