The Gala
will recognize three individuals who have gone above and beyond in their
efforts to support education.
“Duncan and
I are privileged to be part of an organization that honors community leaders
who make education a priority,” said Marissa Klussmann. “It’s fitting that
we’ll be celebrating a homecoming. This is an evening that will bring together
former classmates and new friends who work together to build a strong school
district.”
As SBISD
Superintendent of Schools, Duncan Klussmann is a strong supporter of the Spring
Branch Education Foundation. “The funds raised by SBEF, at this event and
others, go to projects that enhance education. Every grant and scholarship the
Foundation awards gets us closer to our T-2-4 goal of increasing the number of
students who graduate from SBISD and pursue technical training, military
careers, two-year and four-year degrees.”
The Klussmanns
have three children. Cameron graduated from Northbrook High School in 2010 and
recently completed his studies at the University of Oklahoma. Will graduated
from Stratford High School in May, and Caroline is a sophomore at Spring Woods
High School.
In addition
to silent and live auctions and dinner, the gala will include a homecoming
dance featuring Molly and the Ringwalds. For more information about the
