May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💙

At CISGC, we believe every student deserves to feel seen, heard, supported, and valued. Mental health matters just as much as physical health, and no student should have to struggle in silence.

This month, we encourage our students, families, and community to check in with themselves and with each other. A simple conversation, kind word, or act of support can make a lasting impact.

Together, we can help create schools and communities where it’s okay to ask for help and where every child knows they are never alone. 💙

Supporting students beyond the classroom 💜

Our CIS students from Hitchcock ISD had the opportunity to attend the Teen Parent Round Up held at College of the Mainland, where they explored resources, built connections, and gained tools to help them succeed in school, parenting, and life. This is such an empowering event. We are proud of our students growth and resilience every step of the way. Thank you so much Galveston County Teen Parenting Coalition for inviting us.

On April 11, 2026 Communities in Schools Galveston County hosted its annual Scholarship Gala…and this year we truly out did ourselves.✨

From beginning to the end, the evening reflected excellence, purpose, and the power of community. Every aspect also reflected our commitment to supporting students and strengthening our community.

The night featured inspiring words from our keynote speaker Ms. Liza Lawrence CEO of Family Service Center - The Center for Mental Health & Wellbeing, and the continued partnership of Galveston Independent School District, Texas City ISD, and Hitchcock ISD, the night was a true celebration of impact. Thank you to ALL of our community partners. We couldn’t do this without you.

We were honored to recognize our outstanding scholarship recipients as well as celebrate excellence through our Site Coordinator of the year 🎉

Together, with the support of our community, we continue to invest in our students… because when we show up for them, ANYTHING is possible!

Thank you to everyone who made this night possible.
