I’ve got the experience,
I’ve got the knowhow.”

The Baytown Chamber
of Commerce celebrated
25 years of Partners in
Education Tuesday,
awarding scholarships,
recognizing the partner of
the year, and honoring
two partners who have
been with the program for
the full quarter-century of
its existence.
In the Partners in
Education program, a
business or civic organi-
zation is paired with a
local school. The business
or organization then pro-
vides both volunteers and
financial support for pro-
grams they plan in coop-
eration with the school.
The programs cover a
wide range, from sponsor-
ing awards or social
events to hosting educa-
tional events to tutoring
and speaking about
careers or particular areas
of expertise.
Dr. Byron Terrier,
deputy superintendent of
administrative services for
Goose Creek CISD, said

ates the financial support
provided by the program,
but even more than that,
appreciates the many vol-
unteer hours contributed
by the sponsors of the pro-
gram.
Recalling the axiom that

child, Terrier said, “today,
more than any other time
in history, I believe that to
be true.”

school system, he said,
will grow up to be some-
