Today, we had the opportunity to celebrate an amazing person, Shiann South, as she begins a new chapter and says “see you later” to Texas H-E-B. ❤️

Shiann has been such a wonderful friend and supporter of our community, the Burleson Opportunity Fund, the Center for ASD, and so many others. Her kindness, generosity, and commitment to making a difference have touched so many lives.

The Burleson Opportunity Fund, along with the Center for ASD and other nonprofits who have been lucky enough to work alongside her, came together to give her a proper “see you later.”

Shiann, you will truly be missed, but we are so excited for all that is ahead for you! Thank you for everything you’ve done for our community. We hope this is only a “see you later”!

Burleson, we have a question for you. đź’¬

Our students and families are in the middle of college application and financial aid season, and a few encouraging words can make a meaningful difference.

If you could give one sentence of advice to a graduating senior navigating applications and financial aid forms, what would you say?

Share your wisdom in the comments. Your experience, encouragement, or practical tip may be exactly what one of our students needs to hear today. 🎓
