Alumni Spotlight
Edward Paul Goren III
Edward’s journey illustrates the Communities In Schools (CIS) mission coming full circle. As a young student, CIS staff believed in him and helped him navigate academic challenges, including finding financial support for college.
From being the first in his family to earn a college degree, to returning as a site coordinator, board member and now Executive Director of CIS of Galveston County, that foundation launched his educational trajectory.
Edward now ensures future students receive the same supports that shaped his life. He embodies the CIS mission showing how a caring adult and support network can create generational impact.
