Absolutely BEAUTIFUL day for a HREDA meeting here in La Porte at the San Jacinto College Maritime Technology & Training Center. On top of meeting with colleagues from the Greater Houston Region, guests had the opportunity to tour San Jac’s top-notch maritime training simulators.

How does a city save $1.1 million annually while gearing up for future growth? ?? The City Of Hitchcock, TX, was faced with aging water infrastructure and operational inefficiencies. Instead of settling, they took action. ? Through strategic upgrades, AMI, and modernized systems, they’ve transformed their water and wastewater operations for a sustainable future. Watch to learn how the City of Hitchcock self-funded their project. ??

???? Building Strong Maritime Connections for Hitchcock ISD’s Future CTE Program ???? Yesterday, Superintendent Travis W. Edwards and Hitchcock High School’s Ernest Trigo had the distinct honor of meeting Vice Admiral Nathan A. Moore, Commander of the Atlantic Area for the U.S. Coast Guard, aboard the V/M Sam Houston. This special invitation was a valuable opportunity for Mr. Edwards and Mr. Trigo to further strengthen Hitchcock ISD’s connections within the maritime industry—a pivotal step as we prepare to launch our Maritime Program in the new Fine Arts & CTE Center set to open this spring. As a Navy veteran, Mr. Edwards was particularly honored to meet Vice Admiral Moore, who shared insights into the Coast Guard’s commitment to education and the development of maritime industry workforce initiatives. The meeting was not only inspiring but also promising, as discussions touched on the potential of a Coast Guard-based ROTC program at Hitchcock High School—a vision both Mr. Edwards and Mr. Trigo are eager to explore for our students’ future. We are excited about the possibilities this partnership can bring to Hitchcock ISD, fostering hands-on learning and career opportunities within the maritime industry for our students. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to build pathways for our students’ success! Check out the photos of Mr. Edwards and Mr. Trigo on the bow of the V/M Sam Houston and with Vice Admiral Moore, marking a significant step forward for our CTE program and community connections.?? #HitchcockISD #MaritimeEducation #BulldogPride

Happy to play our part in such a unique and vibrant group of communities.

Love when works takes you out of the office.

Really happy we could make this event work in Hitchcock. Due to unforeseen circumstances, a neighboring community was no longer able to provide the original venue. Thankfully, with only two days to spare before the event, we and the City Of Hitchcock were able to coordinate the required security and expedite the permitting process to help relocate their entire event in less than 24-hour's notice. #HitchcockTX #Hitchcock #HitchockEDC #HEDC #VisitHTK #EconomicDevelopment #Downtown #Redevelopment #SmallTownBigPlans
