Earlier this year, the Flint Energies Foundation donated a total of $294,000 to use specifically for teacher and staff appreciation activities at each of our schools. Dr. Dusty Dykes and Mr. Virgil Blalock from Northside High School had an opportunity to attend the Flint Energies annual meeting to thank their members and Board of Directors for their intentional, generous recognition of educators in their service area.
Partnerships like this are what make Houston County a great place to live and work!
