Houston Classical Charter School hosted its first foundational dinner to raise funds for a campus-expansion project. Supporters Haydeh and Ali Davoudi (pictured) enjoyed the evening at Masraff’s that featured a silent and live auction and raised more than $1 million. The dinner was chaired by Jessica Leeke and Dr. Julie Kuo, and guests heard from Houston Classical Charter School founder and chief executive officer Deyvis Salazar about plans for the future. Houston Classical Charter School provides free education to children from underserved backgrounds in grades kindergarten through three, with plans to expand through 8th grade. The school’s goal is to prepare children to graduate from both high school and college with the skills they will need to be successful adults.
