Breakthrough Houston's Third Annual Are You Smarter Than A Breakthrough Student?

Breakthrough Houston, a local nonprofit that has been successfully preparing under-resourced students for college for 26 years, will host its third annual Are You Smarter Than A Breakthrough Student? next month. This outdoor event will be held at The Armadillo Palace on Thursday, October 21, 2021 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. CST. Standard COVID-19 safety protocol will be in place.  

Co-chairs Shonali and Rakesh Agrawal, Karen Arnold and Lara and Derek Hollingsworth have created an evening of cocktails and competitive trivia. Participants can compete to see how they stack up against Breakthrough Houston’s exceptional, eighth grade students in a quiz bowl format inspired by Breakthrough Houston’s curriculum. David Gow and Carla Dawson of Gow Media return this year as the event’s quizmasters and Breakthrough Houston’s own students will compete as participants.
