For many students, especially those dealing with grief or instability at home, the holidays can be an incredibly difficult season. Communities In Schools of Houston (CIS) ensures that help—and hope—are always within reach.

Your support connects students with licensed CIS Mental Health professionals who provide crucial services and resources to them and their families.

CIS of Houston is on 147 campuses this year, and last school year, CIS of Houston staff provided over 349,000 hours of direct services.

That support translates to success in school and beyond:

• 98% of CIS case-managed students stayed in school,

• 97% were promoted to the next grade level,

• 97% of eligible seniors graduated, and

• 96% improved in academics, attendance, or behavior.

This year, we aim to make an even greater impact.

With your help, students can receive the care and support they need to succeed, and with your help, every student we serve will know they are not alone, this season or any season.

Your commitment to CIS fuels every breakthrough—big moments, steady progress, and lives turned toward hope.

Together, we can make 2026 a year of hope and growth for students.
