Good Reason Houston wants more high-quality seats – that’s it. But the how and the what – what I’ve loved about them is they create a space where you can dream and think about what’s best for the kids that we serve.

Dr. LaTonya Goffney
Aldine ISD Superintendent:

The people that you’re working with [at Good Reason Houston] come with a lot of research and a lot of knowledge. They’re really smart, brilliant people, but also have the experience of being educators, and having walked in the shoes that teachers are walking in right now.
