Colorado River Collegiate Academy

We’re excited to celebrate 16 students from Bastrop High School, Cedar Creek High School, and Colorado River Collegiate Academy who have been named finalists in this year’s Drive Sames 4 Education program. 🎉🚙
These students earned their spot through hard work, dedication, and perfect attendance throughout the school year, and on May 21, one finalist will drive away in a brand new Ford Bronco Sport!
A huge thank you to Roscoe Bank for generously covering the tax, title, and license for the vehicle and helping make this opportunity even more special for one of our students.
We’re grateful for community partners like Sames Bastrop Ford and Roscoe Bank who continue to invest in our students and celebrate the importance of showing up, working hard, and staying committed.
Congratulations to all 16 finalists!
