In the wake of the destruction left by Hurricane Harvey on the Texas coast, students and staff from campuses across North East ISD have banded together to help in any way they can.
With less than a week back at school, many projects have already been put into action, with more being developed in the coming days.
Victims of the hurricane must not only survive the storm, they have to rebuild, sometimes with only the clothes on their back. NEISD is leading the way when it comes to helping a neighbor in need. Please reach out to the individual campus, if you can donate to their efforts in any way.
