January Volunteer of the Month

Named as January’s Volunteer of the Month is Sandra Newton, who is president of the College Resource Center. Sandra has donated hundreds of hours to Spring Woods High students involved in the Collegiate Challenge program, helping them qualify for more than $600,000 in scholarship opportunities.


During the past decade, beginning with the GEAR UP program, Sandra has been a mentor to many other groups, including the district’s Community Relations team, Curriculum & Instruction leaders, and the Board of Trustees. As an expert and volunteer, she has helped SBISD focus its goal of military, technical or college options for all students, as well as class rank issues.
