Chinquapin Preparatory School

Welcome to where the Red Bell Rings!  Home of where Chinquapinians like yourself strive to be excellent in the classroom, on the court, field, and in the community.  No need to tell you the story about Chinquapin, because you are the story of Chinquapin.  Every year Chinquapinians graduate from Chinquapin and go off to prestigious universities all over the country at a 100% rate.  Their tremendous success is the very reason that I am reaching out to you.  Although many of the graduating Seniors receive a great amount of financial help due to their academic achievements, there are still gaps that need to be filled.  I am reaching out for your support in order to provide an annual gift to build up the Alumni Scholarship fund.

The Alumni Association is looking to give three $2,500 scholarships to graduating Seniors every year.  We are having a blitz campaign in the next three weeks to raise money for graduation.  Please look to donate by June 5th.  Your financial gift will go directly to supporting a Chinquapin graduate.  The gift will not be tied into a certain school, nor will it be required to be used for a specific reason.  The only prerequisite is that the graduate show documentation of them registering for classes.  As our motto “Quid pro Quo” states, something for something.  I am challenging you to give back to the school that has given you so much, and more specifically, to the students that are standing on your shoulders to achieve their dreams. 

Many of you were recipients of this scholarship and you know how much an impact the scholarship had on you.  With your support, we will continue to make the path through college a little bit easier for our fellow Chinquapinians.  Thank you in advance for your gift.  Thank you for your support!  Thank you for being a part of a community that bolsters growth in their students.


Go Burrs!

As you all know, Hurricane Harvey has been one of the most devastating storms in years. Much of Texas is underwater and countless lives have been affected. I am currently writing this from Chinquapin Prepatory School in Highlands, TX, a suburb of Houston. Numerous buildings here are flooded (though those of us still on campus are thankfully safe). We are a 6-12 school that helps children from economically disavantaged homes make it to college. Many of our students' homes have been flooded in the storm. Your donation would go towards helping these families and repairing the school so that when the rains finally stop, we can get back to the important mission of teaching these amazing kids.
