That’s a wrap on #31DaysofHCDE! 🎉 Every story, every student, every program is a reminder of the impact we make together. Here’s to another year of serving Harris County with heart and purpose.

#HCDE hires staff like Lakesha Hemphill who connect with students. After years of battling addiction, the Fortis Academy recovery coach has 21 years of sobriety and helps students find their path forward. Her story is raw and full of heart: blog.hcde-texas.org/2025/11/…. #31DaysofHCDE

Clear communication is essential in education, and translators and interpreters make that possible for thousands of families. #HCDE launched PTIC to fill resource gaps and give professionals a day to train, network and celebrate their impact. blog.hcde-texas.org/2025/07/… #31DaysofHCDE

#HCDE is here to fill the gaps that help students, families and schools thrive. From Special Schools and Head Start to Therapy Services, afterschool programming and more, we’re the support Harris County can count on. This is who we are, and this is how we serve. #31DaysofHCDE

Building robots, coding and teamwork are just some of the skills students learn through the All-Earth Ecobot Challenge, hosted by @hcde_case. The hands-on competition encourages students to use STEM curriculum to navigate challenges and solve real-world problems. #31DaysofHCDE
